Lyrics for Roman Candles

It's been a battle just to wake and greet the day Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee (Sugar in my coffee) A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains The acidity devouring my body (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 Now it's a struggle just to feel anything (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 Ah-ooh, ah-ooh Ah-ooh, ah-ooh And I am learning to let go Of everything I tried to hold Too long 'cause they all explode Like Roman candles Like Roman candles
