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 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 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
