Saw a man in the movies
That didn't have a heart
how I wish I could give him mine
then I wouldnt have to feel
it breakin all apart
and this emptiness inside
would suit me fine

its times like these
I wish I were the tin man
you could hurt me all you wanted
I'd never even know
and I'd give anything
just to be the tin man
then I wouldn't have a heart
and I wouldn't need a soul

I couldn't see your leavin coming
it took me by surprise
even now still seems like a dream
but I know I cant be dreaming
cause as I lay down each nite
the pains so great that it won't let me sleep

its times like these
I wish I were the tin man
you could hurt me all you wanted
I'd never even know
well I'd give anything
just to be the tin man
and I wouldn't have a heart
and I wouldn't need a soul

I'd give anything
just to be the tin man
and I wouldnt have a heart
and I wouldn't miss you so
