Elliot Smith Roman Candle Lyrics

Roman Candle Lyrics

he played himself

didn't need me to give him hell

he could be cool
and cruel to you and me

knew we'd put up with anything



I
want to hurt him

I want to give him pain

I'm a roman candle

my head is full of flames



I'm hallucinating, hallucinating

I hear you cry

your tears are cheap

wet hot red swollen
cheeks

fall asleep



I want to hurt him

I want to give
him pain

I'm a roman candle

my head is full of flames



I want to hurt him

I want to hurt him

I want to hurt him

I
want to give him pain



and make him feel this pretty burn
