I get home darling And I smell our last goodbye Didn't know how fast that I could be put aside Now you sit there crying And the fog fills up the night Didn't know how fast that I could be put aside Try to say you're wrong, but I know I want to say you're wrong, but I know Knowing this will all be over soon My heart rips open like a red balloon Take a long shot love And we'll talk our way up from here I know we never thought it would be so sincere You take your sorrow now And I'll go through mine dear I know we never thought it would be so sincere Try to say you're wrong, but I know I want to say you're wrong, but I know Knowing this will all be over soon My heart rips open like a red balloon Knowing this will all be over soon My heart rips open like a red balloon Maybe one day, I'll learn how to stay up Maybe one day, I'll learn how to stay up Maybe one day, I'll learn how to stay up Maybe one day, I'll learn how to stay up

Holdin' on to her red balloon All the other kids want it too She keeps it dry in the pouring rain Lets it go but it never floats away (And mamma 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 And don't let 'em see you cry It's killing you to let it go Your red balloon won't fly Daddy flew away years ago Attached to one of those red balloons he stole Now he's headed straight for the sun You can hear them pop one-by-one And it always hurts Just let it bleed And don't let 'em see you cry It's killing you to let it go Your red balloon won't fly Oh it won't fly Oh now I'm getting scared It's running out of air You can take the knife to my throat The barrel to my skull Sleep now red balloon It always hurts Oooh And it always bleeds But don't let 'em see you cry-y-y-y It's killing you to let it go Your red balloon won't fly It's killing you to let it go Your red balloon won't fly It's killing you to let it go Your red balloon won't fly

There's a thousand reasons this won't work I can count the ways we'll crash and burn There's a thousand reasons not to try But is one enough to change your mind? There's a hundred ways to break your heart But I'll never know if we don't start There's a hundred signs to let you go But is one enough to hold me close? 'Cause life is full of wasted moments that felt right And don't we have enough for us to dive right in? Even if we don't know how this ends There's a million chances for mistakes That we both can't promise not to make There's a million doubts that you might have But is a spark enough to not hold back? 'Cause life is full of wasted moments that felt right And don't we have enough for us to dive right in? Even if we don't know how this ends Even if we don't know how this ends There's a thousand reasons this won't work I can count the ways we'll crash and burn There's a thousand reasons not to try But is one enough to change your mind?

Frozen lake Frozen tears Frozen hope Frozen years Life came slowly to a stall, a stall 'Cause you've been paralyzed by all you want Feeling lifeless and cold Always coming up a little short Don't Lay Down Your life's not over Gotta stand Your ground If your heart's still beating then It's worth fighting for Even when you're bleeding You're worth fighting for Quiet mouth Empty eyes Pretty face all disguised So disappointed in the years She's tried Now taking solace In the tears she cries Feeling helpless and weak Letting failure have a voice to speak Don't Lay Down Your life's not over Gotta stand your ground If your heart's still beating then It's worth Fighting for Even when you're bleeding You're worth fighting for There's a peace in the morning Of starting new So when you hear hope calling See it through See it through See it through Don't Lay Down Your life's not over Gotta stand your ground If your heart's still beating then It's worth Fighting for Even when you're bleeding You're worth fighting for You're worth fighting for You're worth fighting for

Oh I'm ready Never been so sure or quite so steady Gonna live my life to keep the promises I made Even though I make mistakes I know I'm ready Found a heart that was just like mine Yeah I found a heart that was just like mine It's the kind of love that can make you blind And I'd do anything to see him smile Oh I'm ready Never been so sure or quite so steady Gonna live my life to keep the promises I made Even though I make mistakes I know I'm ready I found the heart of my best friend It's the kind of love that understands He said it changed his life to be my man So he bought a ring and took my hand He says he's ready Never been so sure or quite so steady Gonna live his life to keep the promises he made Even though he makes mistakes I know he's ready For better or for worse he's gonna carry We're gonna have our hurts But it's the treasure of my life just to spend it by his side I know I'm ready I found a heart that was just like mine Yeah he makes me laugh and he lets me cry Oh he listens when I lose my mind And now I get to grow old by his side I'm lucky and I'm ready Never been so sure or quite so steady Gonna live my life to keep the promises I made Even though I make mistakes I know I'm ready For better or for worse I'm gonna carry We're gonna have our hurts But it's the treasure of my life just to spend it by your side I know I'm ready Oh oh oh It's the treasure of my life just to spend it by your side I know I'm ready

I couldn't even reach the sink To brush my teeth The heater was broke in the winter We wore long sleeves We'd race from the front to the back door in under 3 seconds We didn't have much back then, but I thought it was heaven There were pictures of us on the wall And my momma complained that the kitchen was small You could hear the TV down the hall Didn't have to go far if I needed to talk I'm a million miles away tonight But I can walk through that house If I just close my eyes It was only 1200 square feet It wasn't much But it was enough for me Mom and dad got separate places; it didn't work out Lawyers and real estate agents, and tears on the couch My new room was bigger and nicer; it smelled like new paint But I'd lay awake in the darkness and remember those days There were pictures of us on the wall And my momma complained that the kitchen was small You could hear the TV down the hall Didn't have to go far if I needed to talk I'm a million miles away tonight But I can walk through that house If I just close my eyes It was only 1200 square feet It wasn't much But it was enough for me I want to go back Want to go back Want to go back I want to go back Want to go back Want to go back There were pictures of us on the wall And my momma complained that the kitchen was small You could hear the TV down the hall Didn't have to go far if I needed to talk I'm a million miles away tonight But I can walk through that house If I just close my eyes It was only 1200 square feet It wasn't much But it was enough for me
