Lyrics Danny Elfman

Danny Elfman

Tears To Shed

What does that wispy little brat have that you don't have double

She can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile

How about a pulse?

Overrated by a mile

Overvalued

Overblown

If he only knew the you that we know

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 knew

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

But the pain here that I feel

Try and tell me it's not real

And it seems that I still have a tear to she'd

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 knew

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

But it seems that I still have some tears to she'd
