[Verse 1] Bare feet on cold tile Lip stain on your white smile You talk like a courtroom I sit like a closed file Black coffee No sugar You toast to my future You say I’m your best find I’m reading the fine print behind you [Chorus] I’m your small black flame Cool on the surface Eating everything You say my name Like you could own it Like a pretty ring Careful what you tame I’m your small black flame I’m your small black flame Burn slow Burn strange [Verse 2] You plan out the whole night Red lines on a blue sky You script every answer I laugh and I improvise You lean like a verdict I blink and you feel it You think you’re the hammer I’m quietly bending the steel [Chorus] I’m your small black flame Cool on the surface Eating everything You say my name Like you could own it Like a pretty ring Careful what you tame I’m your small black flame I’m your small black flame Burn slow Burn strange [Bridge] You want simple I bring trouble Say it softer Watch you crumble (oh) You move closer I get smaller Till you’re staring At the fire in the center of the dark [Chorus] I’m your small black flame Cool on the surface Eating everything You say my name Like you could own it Like a pretty ring Careful what you tame I’m your small black flame I’m your small black flame Burn slow Burn strange
