To watch your red balloon fly away

It's such a disappointment

Nothing to say, much like today

I'm hurting because of you, I saw you fly away

Nothing I can change today

[Chorus]

Too bad you couldn't stay, didn't see you on your way

Now there's no taking back

Or saying what I meant to say

And now the only question is why,

While the answer is denied

The world looks so much different without your smile

Reality hit me hard today

The past is gone away, hope I'll remember it

And all those times we used to play

Those memories of you and I when we were young

Stir my heart alive and shadow the death that has become

[Repeat chorus]

I'll preserve your life inside

To mend your absence for the rest of my time

I know you touched so many lives

I finally see you in your true light

I see all the things I failed to see before

And the world looks different now

[Repeat chorus]
