about

Single from Butterfly Heart (2015)
Recorded in a home studio during 2012

lyrics

Should I bend
To your every command
Should I listen
When I clearly don't want to hear

And you don't know
How infuriating
You can be to me

So light me up
And let me go
I'll shine much brighter
Light me up
Just let me go
I am a roman candle

Do I listen
To every single lie
Do I fall
To your feet every time

And you don't know
How devastating
You can be to me

So light me up
And let me go
I'll shine much brighter
Light me up
Just let me go
I am a roman candle

You told me fireworks burn out
But it you was you that lit the spark
That lit the fuse
That saw me up and out

Light me up
Let me go

So light me up
And let me go
I'll shine much brighter
Light me up
Just let me go
I am a roman candle
