lyrics

come on, break my heart
i'm a little red balloon, you're a kid in the park
i'm dying to just be enjoyed by you
knowing you are bound to let me loose i know

come on, break my heart
i'm climbing up your branches, call the fire department
to see that they can't rescue me
i'm digging in my claws
you're slipping through my tiny paws

come on, break my heart

come on
come on
come on
come on

i might rather be a book on your shelf
you're finished with me but sometimes you might feel compelled
to take me out, maybe when your friends come over
you can tell them how you couldn't put me down

come on, break my heart

come on
come on
come on
come on

come on, break my heart
i'm a dozen cage-free eggs down at the bottom of your cart
i'm dying to just be protected by you
if it's too late, then crushed by you would be o.k.

come on, break my heart

come on
come on
come on
come on
come on
come on
come on
come on

at least then that'd be something
and something beats nothing at all
