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
