Red Balloons

There's a string wrapped around my finger It's getting tighter every day And it just goes on forever It's wrapped around every word you said It's like a memory, a shoebox in my mind Calling out to me to open up and look inside It makes me believe and all we could've been But all the things we were is just me imagining Take these red balloons And watch them fly away I'm untying my heart And letting go today Time has come for me to see the truth Walk up to the edge I'm letting go Of these red balloons There's a shadow when I walk forward And it keeps trying to hold me back I can cry at the strangest moments Reminding me of what I can't have Don't wanna find even All we could've been Cause I'm so tired of Everything I'm imagining Take these red balloons And watch them fly away I'm untying my heart And letting go today Time has come for me to see the truth Walk up to the edge I'm letting go Of these red balloons The child in me Wants to run and collect Every single balloon I'll never forget The child in me Wants to live in a dream Of carousels And wishing wells Take these red balloons And watch them fly away I'm untying my heart And letting go today Cause every single dream in the past Does nothing for me but hold me back Time has come for me to see the truth I walk up to the edge and let go of these red balloons Red balloons, red balloons, red balloons Has been blown away Tears are in my eyes I say... goodbye
