Teardrop Lyrics - The Collective (Children In Need)
[Ed Sheeran]
We’re torn between what’s right and what’s not
What’s up, what’s down
[Ms Dynamite]
Left or right, deep down, on top, full stop
Exclamation mark, punctuation
[Chipmunk]
A hundred percent, straight A’s, education, university
Job prospects, lost objects
[Wretch 32]
New possessions, new friends, old lessons
[Mizz Bratt]
New questions, old answers, new message
[Dot Rotten]
Repeat sentence, feel presence, receive gestures
[Tinchy Stryder]
Learn more, seek blessings
[Dot Rotten]
Seek forgiveness
[Tinchy Stryder]
Seek freedom, seek vengeance
Be full of life, be vacant
Flee danger, be braver
[Chorus: Tulisa]
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
[Wretch 32]
Be careful, be reckless
Be reserved, be respected
[Chipmunk]
Be flamboyant, be rejected
Be loved, be neglected
See sense
[Mizz Bratt]
See nonsense, see the lies
See honesty
[Rizzle Kicks]
See properly, see poorly
See tarnished, see quality
[Dot Rotten]
Keep changing, be a changer
Be popular, be a stranger
[Tinchy Stryder]
Do favours, be selfish
Share riches, be homeless
[Ms Dynamite]
Be selfless, be careless
Be you, be them, be anyone
[Ed Sheeran]
Be an enemy, be a friend, but beware
[Chorus: Tulisa]
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
[Wretch 32]
You can be anything you dream of
[Mizz Bratt]
A wise man appreciates the time on a cheap watch
[Wretch 32]
Value everything you own
[Dot Rotten]
Somebody probably dreams of the bed that you sleep on
[Wretch 32 & Mizz Bratt]
Be anything, it’s your choice
[Ms Dynamite]
Always speak your mind
[Tinchy Stryder]
Your voice
We’re living in the land of opportunities
[Wretch 32]
You can turn silver into gold with four coins
[Tulisa]
Come on
Love is a verb
A doing word
On, on my breath
[Labrinth]
Now don’t you quit on me
[Tulisa]
Makes me lighter
[Labrinth]
I need you baby
[Tulisa and Labrinth]
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
We’re torn between what’s right and what’s not
What’s up, what’s down
[Ms Dynamite]
Left or right, deep down, on top, full stop
Exclamation mark, punctuation
[Chipmunk]
A hundred percent, straight A’s, education, university
Job prospects, lost objects
[Wretch 32]
New possessions, new friends, old lessons

Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
