Lyrics

Saw your grin in the rain
Paint runs down my sleeve
Little red shoes on the floor, and they're walking toward me
You said, "Don't be afraid," But your laugh went thin. Now the room feels smaller, and the dark gets in

[Pre-Chorus]
Spin me slow
Don't let go
Your eyes blink wrong
In the smoke
I tried to run, I tried to hide
But you keep turning
Back inside
[Chorus]

Broken balloon, broken balloon
You made my heart go boom-boom-boom
Broken balloon, broken balloon Sweet little fear, I sing to you
Broken balloon, broken balloon I hear that laugh in every room Broken balloon, broken balloon Hold me close while I fall through

[Verse 2]
Tiptoe steps in the hall
Tiny hand on glass
Confetti on the carpet
Like a graveyard past

You left a red balloon
Tied to my bed frame
I swear it breathed my name
Then it popped with shame

[Pre-Chorus]
Spin me slow
Don't let go
Your eyes blink wrong
In the smoke
I tried to run, I tried to hide
But you keep turning
Back inside

[Chorus]
Broken balloon, broken balloon
You made my heart go boom-boom-boom
Broken balloon, broken balloon Sweet little fear, I sing to you
Broken balloon, broken balloon I hear that laugh in every room Broken balloon, broken balloon
Hold me close while I fall through
