Red Balloons
There's a string wrapped around my fingerIt's getting tighter every dayAnd it just goes on foreverIt's wrapped around every word you said
It's like a memory, a shoebox in my mindCalling out to me to open up and look insideIt makes me believe and all we could've beenBut all the things we were is just me imagining
Take these red balloonsAnd watch them fly awayI'm untying my heartAnd letting go today
Time has come for me to see the truthWalk up to the edgeI'm letting goOf these red balloons
There's a shadow when I walk forwardAnd it keeps trying to hold me backI can cry at the strangest momentsReminding me of what I can't have
Don't wanna find evenAll we could've beenCause I'm so tired ofEverything I'm imagining
Take these red balloonsAnd watch them fly awayI'm untying my heartAnd letting go today
Time has come for me to see the truthWalk up to the edgeI'm letting goOf these red balloons
The child in meWants to run and collectEvery single balloonI'll never forget
The child in meWants to live in a dreamOf carouselsAnd wishing wells
Take these red balloonsAnd watch them fly awayI'm untying my heartAnd letting go today
Cause every single dream in the pastDoes nothing for me but hold me backTime has come for me to see the truthI walk up to the edge and let go of these red balloons
Red balloons, red balloons, red balloonsHas been blown awayTears are in my eyesI say... goodbye
