Roman Candles Lyrics

It’s been a battle just to wake and greet the day
Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee
A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains
The acidity devouring my body

But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long ‘cause they all explode
Like roman candles

I used to feel everything like a flame
But now it’s a struggle just to feel anything
I watch the world from a window on a hill
Everyone moving as I’m standing still
I’m standing still

But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long ‘cause they all explode
Like roman candles

But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long ‘cause they all explode
Like roman candles
Like roman candles
