Dead Balloons Lyrics

I should've went back home once the party was over
Dead balloons on the ground, throwin' up, curled over
I needed you the most, I got nothing to show for
I can't let no one in, I can't get any closer

Said I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when it's all over
I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when I get sober
Oh, oh, oh
(Make it up to you, make it up to you)

I'm used to feeling alone, used to sick and tired
Lowest of the lows, couldn't get any higher
Should have spent my time a little wiser
I'm learning now to show up, maybe put out the fire

You said I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when it's all over
I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when I get sober
Said I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when it's all over
I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when I get sober

Make it up to you
Make it up to you, make it up to you
When we get sober, sober
Make it up to you, make it up to you
Make it up to you, make it up to you
When we get sober, sober
Make it up

I should've went back home once the party was over
Dead balloons on the ground, throwin' up, curled over
I needed you the most, I got nothing to show for
I can't let no one in, I can't get any closer

Said I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when it's all over
I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when I get sober
Oh, oh, oh
(Make it up to you, make it up to you)

I'm used to feeling alone, used to sick and tired
Lowest of the lows, couldn't get any higher
Should have spent my time a little wiser
I'm learning now to show up, maybe put out the fire

You said I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when it's all over
I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when I get sober
Said I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when it's all over
I'll make it up to you, make it up to you when I get sober

Make it up to you
Make it up to you, make it up to you
When we get sober, sober
Make it up to you, make it up to you
Make it up to you, make it up to you
When we get sober, sober
Make it up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
