Shiny Red Balloon lyrics

Im keepin my affair in a book
So this is how a villain feels
Theyre running seasons in my chest
And im only to keep them

Chorus:
Maybe its not true
Love on the tv
Just like we imagine it
And its so hard to do
When theres always some distraction
A shiny red balloon
That spoils everything

Im keepin my affair in a book
Such practical and harmless vice
But im feelin it could end up painfully
And the tv should apologize

Im keepin my affair in a book
My long and lonely compromise
How can you live like that my dear
Well we do

It spoils everything
