Tears To Shed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[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't feel the 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 knows 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
