My perfect Balloon

Just like a child

I would see you everyday

you were my balloon

balloon of love

Just like a child

I'd play outside with you

you didn't float away

you stayed right by my side

i made sure you were tied to my wrist

safe and tight 

so i wouldn't loose you

I was too short as a child and i let you touch the ground

as soon as you discovered the mud the ground held you popped

you popped and left me alone

My balloon of love popped

you left when you saw the mud

the mud no one could take away

its started covering the green grass

you loved the grass

so as time passed you took some of it

and maybe you took too much

because when you left

it was only mud and rain that fell

making the mud bigger until it was a big brown river

I was drowning in it

but you were somewhere else

high in the sky

you popped our balloon of love and left me to drown in the mud

you took all my grass
