Red Balloons - Nelly Furtado (妮莉·费塔朵)

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
