Lyrics Helium - Emma Stevens

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 realised
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 realised
I’ll never see you again
Helium…
