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 breaking all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine

It's 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 
I wouldn't need a soul

I couldn't see your leaving coming
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

It's 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 
I wouldn't need a soul

Well I'd give anything 
Just to be the tin man
And I wouldn't have a heart 
I wouldn't miss you so
