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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/danny_elfman/tears_to_shed.html ]
If I touch a burning candle
I can 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
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 the 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
Isn't it "no pain" not "the pain. " on the i can feel no pain... If i touch a burning candle i can feel no pain.

Well, obviously the meaning is her despair over being rejected for something she can never change, and her friends, the lovely widow spider, and the funny maggot, try to cheer her up. She is the corpse bride. I absolutely love this movie and the songs. However a very serious error was made. It has written "i can feel the pain", which clashes the meaning for someone who doesn't know the real version. It should say, "i can feel no pain", as she is a corpse.
Emily was such a sweet, kind and loving girl... And yet her heart stopped beating and she still kept believing in love. It is her song because she wants to be loved, but in trying to be loved... Someone purposely took her life so she couldn't be loved. And that irony is filled in her part in the song. And it is a beautiful piece only danny elfman could have written.
This is from the movie "corpse bride",the bride's name is emily,she is singing how much she dislikes the woman that victor loves,she loves him so much,i'm totally gonna be emily this halloween :]
I think this song means that a corpse is in love with a human. And she knows she cannot have him. A story of passion, even though her heart stopped beating,it's breaking and even though she is dead,she still has some tears to shed.
