Tears to shed

MAGGOT:What does that whispy little brat have that you don't have double?
BLACK WIDOW:She can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile
CORPSE BRIDE:How about a pulse?
MAGGOT:Overrated by a mile
BLACK WIDOW:Overbearing
MAGGOT:Overblown
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:If he only knew the you that we know
BLACK WIDOW:And that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring
MAGGOT:And she doesn't play piano
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:Or dance
MAGGOT:Or sing
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:No she doesn't compare
CORPSE BRIDE:But she still breathes air
BLACK WIDOW:Who cares?
MAGGOT:Unimportant
BLACK WIDOW:Overrated
MAGGOT:Overblown
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:If only he could see how special you can be, If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE:
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
For it seems that I still have a tear to shed

MAGGOT:The sure redeeming feature from that little creature is that she's alive
BLACK WIDOW:Overrated
MAGGOT:Overblown
BLACK WIDOW:Everybody know that's just a temporary state, which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate
MAGGOT:Who cares?
BLACK WIDOW:Unimportant
MAGGOT:Overrated
BLACK WIDOW:Overblown
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:If only he could see how special you can be, If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE:
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

(Corpse Bride - Tim Burton)
