Red Balloon (Acoustic)
Holdin' on to her red balloon
All the other kids want it too
She keeps it dry in the pourin' rain
Lets it go but it never floats away
And mama said
Let 'em see but don't let 'em touch
Cause there's not a man in this world that you can trust
And the shinier that they are
The quicker they cut right through your heart
And it always hurts
Just let it bleed
Don't let 'em see you cry
It's killin' you to let it go
Your red balloon won't fly
Daddy flew away years ago
Tied to all of the red balloons he stole
Now he's headed straight for the sun
You can hear 'em pop one by one
And it always hurts
Just let it bleed
Don't let 'em see you cry
It's killin' you to let it go
Your red balloon won't fly
Oh, it won't fly
Cause now I'm getting' scared
It's runnin' out of air
You can take the knife to my throat, the barrel to my skull
Just leave my red balloon alone
Cause it always hurts
And it always bleeds
Don't let 'em see you cry
It's killin' you to let it go
Your red balloon won't fly
It's killin' you to let it go
Your red balloon won't fly
All the other kids want it too
She keeps it dry in the pourin' rain
Lets it go but it never floats away
And mama said
Let 'em see but don't let 'em touch
Cause there's not a man in this world that you can trust
And the shinier that they are
The quicker they cut right through your heart
And it always hurts
Just let it bleed
Don't let 'em see you cry
It's killin' you to let it go
Your red balloon won't fly
Daddy flew away years ago
Tied to all of the red balloons he stole
Now he's headed straight for the sun
You can hear 'em pop one by one
And it always hurts
Just let it bleed
Don't let 'em see you cry
It's killin' you to let it go
Your red balloon won't fly
Oh, it won't fly
Cause now I'm getting' scared
It's runnin' out of air
You can take the knife to my throat, the barrel to my skull
Just leave my red balloon alone
Cause it always hurts
And it always bleeds
Don't let 'em see you cry
It's killin' you to let it go
Your red balloon won't fly
It's killin' you to let it go
Your red balloon won't fly
