This is a unreleased song from a recording session made in 2010, most likely it was meant to be included in the also never released album “
 The song’s called “Red Balloons“, kind of childishly cute and nolstagic themed song with a very catchy chorus, it’s a demo for sure.

"Red Balloons" was produced by John Shanks (Natasha Bedingfield, Kelly Clarkson, Anastacia) and Nelly.


LYRICS:
There's a string wrapped around my finger
It's getting tighter everyday
And it just goes on forever
It's wrapped around every word you said

It's like a memory
A shoe-box in my mind
It's calling out to me to open up and look inside
It makes me believe in all we could have been
But all the things we were it's just me imagining

Take these red balloons and watch them fly away
I'm untying my heart and letting go today
Time has come for me to see the truth
And walk up to the edge and let go all these red balloons

There's a shadow when I walk forward
And it keeps trying to hold me back
I can cry at the strangest moments
Reminding me of what I can't have

Don't wanna believe in all we could have been
Cuz I'm so tired of everything I'm imagining

Take these red balloons and watch them fly away
I'm untying my heart and letting go today
Time has come for me to see the truth
And walk up to the edge and let go all these red balloons

The child in me wants to run and collect every single balloon and never forget
The child in me wants to live in a dream of carousels and wish me well

Take these red balloons and watch them fly away
I'm untying my heart and letting go today
Cuz every single dream of the past does nothing for me or hold me back
Time has come for me to see the truth
I walked up to the edge and let go all these red balloons

Red balloons x3
Yes they've flown away
The tears are in my eyes
I said goodbye.
