Elliott Smith — Roman Candle lyrics

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 wanna 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 wanna hurt him
I want to give him pain
I’m a Roman candle
My head is full of flames
I wanna hurt him
I wanna hurt him
I wanna hurt him
I want to give him pain
Make him feel this pretty burn
