Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Saw a man in the movies that didn't have a heart
How I wish I could give him mine
Then I wouldn't have to feel
It breakin' all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine
[Verse 2]
It's time like these
I wish I were the Tin Man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And 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
[Verse 3]
I couldn't see your leavin' comin', you took me by surprise
Even now it still seems like a dream
But I know I can't be dreamin' 'cause as I lay down each night
The pain's so great that it won't let me sleep
[Verse 4]
It's time like these
I wish I were the Tin Man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And 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
Well, I'd give anything just to be the Tin Man
And I wouldn't have a heart
And I wouldn't miss you so
