Lyrics of Black Balloon by Goo Goo Dolls

verse

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
You're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me but on your knees

verse

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

chorus

Coming down, the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer?

verse

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
Was it things they never showed you?
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room, yeah

chorus

Coming down, the world turned over
And Angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone's prayer

bridge

And there's no time left for losing
When you stand, they fall, yeah

outro

Coming down, the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Coming down, the years turned over
And Angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and I'll lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become what you became to me
