Helium

When I was a little kid

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

The easier it is to lose

As it drifted away I was broken

Cos suddenly everything changed

For once in my life

I realized

That I'd never see it again

Helium

Always trying to escape

Helium

Every precious atom floating into space

Now that you're gone

I'm left on my own

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

An echo through time

I realized

I'll never see you again

Helium

Always trying to escape

Helium

Every precious atom floating into space

Now that you're gone

I'm left on my own

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

Helium

Always trying to escape

Helium

Every precious atom floating into space

Now that you're gone

I'm left on my own

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
