Lisa Loeb | Lyrics | Firecracker

You want to suffer, well show me you're angry
Fight with your fists up or call for you mommy
You want to suffer show me you're angry

Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
Drink water and gold dust and live on impatience
Slaughtered for weakness, electric like static
Slaughtered, you're weak there's no need to speak

You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers
You step on the sparks
You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers

I shouldn't be any great inspiration
I never got your way
I should never have to chase you
You were the one who ran away

If you could feel the pain
Your confusion has caused me
You would have stopped before you spoke

Listening to lies, the pain doesn't suit me
The gift that you gave me, I put it away
I couldn't look at it, it made me think of you
You get in the way

You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers
You step on the sparks
You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers

Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
Drink water and gold dust and die of impatience
Electric like static, no need to speak
It's not right, but it's not wrong so I wrote this song

I wrote this song, is that what you want?
You got what you want, does it make you feel better?
The smirk on your face and a gun at my head
Come to my place and ask to be fed

You change your shoelaces
I light firecrackers
You get in the way
You get in the way

You want to suffer show me you're angry
Fight with your fists up, call for your mommy
You want to suffer, show me you're angry
