Tears To Shed Lyrics - Singles - Burton Tim

what does that whispy little brat have that you don't have double 

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

How bout a pulse 

Overrated by a mile 

Overbearing, 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 her 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 

For it seems that I still have a tear to shed 

The sure redeeming feature 

From that little creature 

Is that she's alive 

Overrated 

Overblown 

Everybody know 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
