• 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 to tell me it's not real
• I know that I am dead
• Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed
