[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 breaking all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine

[Chorus]
It's times like these
I wish I were the tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And I'd never even know
I'd give anything just to be the tin man
Then I wouldn't have a heart and I wouldn't need a soul

[Verse 2]
I couldn't see your leaving coming
It took me by surprise
And even now it still seems like a dream
But I know I can't be dreaming
'Cause as I lay down each night
The pain so great that it won't let me sleep

[Chorus]
It's times 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
