I wish I was the tinman
No heart to be broken
No cries to choke on
No one would break through my armour
I would have the power
The power over how I feel
I wouldn't have wounds to heal
Emotions to hide
Because there would be nothing inside
I wish I was the tinman
I wouldn't cry at night
For someone to hold my hand
To take me away
To better days...
Misery only a distant haze
But instead I'm stuck in this maze
Sharp corners cut my body
But not my heart
That stopped beating before it had the chance to start
But that's not the case
Instead it's broken
Broken from something I can't erase
If I were the the tinman
My heart wouldn't be broken
I wouldn't have cries to choke on
I would be strong
I would prove everyone wrong
And make them listen to the words
The words in my song
But I'm not the tinman
My heart is broken
And I have to go now
As I do have cries to choke on.
