Danny Elfman - Tears to Shed (demo) lyrics

What does that wispy little brat have that you don't have double? She can't hold a candle to beauty of your smile How about a pulse? Overrated by a mile Overvalued Overblown If he only knew the you that we know (sigh) And that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring And she doesn't play piano or dance, or sing No, she doesn't compare But she still breathes air Who cares?! Unimportant Overrated Overblown If only he could see how special you can be If he only knew the you that we know If I touch a burning candle, I can feel no pain If you cut me with a knife, it's still the same And I know her heart is beating And I know that I am dead Yet the pain here that I feel, try and tell me it's not real And it seems that I still have a tear to shed The sole redeeming feature from that little creature is that she's alive Overrated Overblown Everybody knows that's just a temporary state Which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate Who cares?! Unimportant Overrated Overblown If only he could see how special you can be, if he only knew the you that we know If I touch a burning candle, I can feel no pain In the ice or in the sun it's all the same Yet I feel my heart is aching Though it doesn't beat, it's breaking And the pain here that I feel, try and tell me it's not real I know that I am dead Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed
