Elliott Smith Roman Candle song lyrics

he played himself

didn't need me to give him help

he could be cool, cruel to you and me

knew we'd put up with anything

I wanna hurt him

I wanna give him pain

I'm a Roman candle

my head is full of flames

I'm hallucinating, hallucinating

I hear you cry

your tears, cheap

wet hot red swollen cheeks

fall asleep

I wanna hurt him

I wanna 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 wanna give him pain

he can feel this pretty burn
