lyrics

Tin Man

A tin man of a woodman
I used to be so human
I used to love so reckless
That same love left me ruined

Well hello, hello, hi there
Is there anybody in there
Because Father was a builder
But left a hole in me oh so bare

Momma took it all when
She numbed me piece by piece and
She told me I’m so wretched
Like a loveless little tin man

Rusted over just like
The night that I said goodbye
Like I never even loved her
With tears rusting at my tin eyes

Couldn’t get my heart back
Just a hole inside me pitch black
Daddy couldn’t help me
He said a blacksmith couldn’t fix that

I want to love like You have
I need You to put my heart back
