Balloons

So many years So many dark memories So many fears We've now put to ease

Pain makes you do things You never knew you could do Is this all real? Or just déjà-vu...?

But now the party's over Now the guests are gone It's already past our bedtime It's already almost dawn

Just like balloons We soar on our own Finally free From the pain of our home And just like balloons That no one will hold Free from the truth That no one will know

Just little children Not at all strange Until the lights went out And everything changed

Alone and afraid For oh so long Wondering what did we do wrong?

'Cause now the party's over And everyone is red I feel sick to my stomach Or am I sick in the head?

Just like balloons We soar on our own Finally free From the pain of our home And just like balloons That no one will hold Free from the truth That no one will know

All of the pain Far in the past Yet echoes of screams Forever will last

Just like balloons We soar on our own Finally free From the pain of our home And just like balloons That no one will hold Free from the truth That no one knows No one knows
