You gave me the greatest gift
A beautiful heart shaped balloon
I was way too young to know
The more you try to keep a hold
As it drifted away I was broken
Cos suddenly everything changed
That I'd never see it again
Every precious atom floating into space
And suddenly love's not a game
It's like I'm 8 years old, tears in my eyes
Trying to understand, gazing at the sky
Every time we fall in love
We give a little piece of us
Give a little piece of us away
Even though we all know that
We'll never ever get it back
Once that perfect love begins to fade
As you drifted away I was broken
Cos suddenly everything changed
