Nobody but I wonder
Why God makes us blunder
I prayed just innocently
It may have been folly

I’ve always felt it most odd
"Love nothing more than God”
Stories end with the lesson
“He gets all pain lessened”

But still Heaven can’t undo
This fact that makes me true
For the first time I felt alive when I looked at you
When I perfectly fell in love with you

I want this world to know

You’re my Red Shoes, so tell me what I’ll lose
By the holy rule
God never lets me choose whether I break taboos
The Bible calls me just a fool

I’m making the mistake just like the girl lost her feet
In the pain and heat
God is weak and meaningless to stop these heartbeats
The Devil gives me something sweet

I’m not afraid of thunder
I laugh if I’m sundered
Love who I love to be free
It is as it should be

It’s you that made my heart thawed
"It goes right thanks to God’'
Don't be taken in by tricks
“He makes it less tragic"

Can’t see if I’m glad or sad
That is the dream I had
How do I feel to keep dancing until I go mad
Does everyone say that my life is bad

I want to let you know

You’re my Red Shoes, so tell me what I’ll lose
By the holy rule
God never lets me choose whether I break taboos
The Bible calls me just a fool

I’m making the mistake just like the girl lost her feet
In the pain and heat
God is weak and meaningless to stop these heartbeats
The Devil gives me something sweet

I love you more than God
It doesn’t matter how many people depend on God
I need you more than God
I don’t care my feet are taken by God

You’re my Red Shoes, so tell me what I’ll lose
By the holy rule
God never lets me choose whether I break taboos
The Bible calls me just a fool

I’m making the mistake just like the girl lost her feet
In the pain and heat
God is weak and meaningless to stop these heartbeats
The Devil gives me something sweet

We never ever need to make up any excuse
If you’re what I lose
My Red Shoes

We stay like children totally refused and confused
Whatever we lose
My Red Shoes
