HEART OF STEEL
 
Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Mark E. Ellis
 
Here it is another shattered dream
Love affair over before it started
Oh, my heart just wants to scream
I’m tired of being Mr. Brokenhearted
 
CLIMB
Tin Man, what did you want with a heart?
Hearts are too easily broken
 
CHORUS
So give me a Heart of Steel
One that won’t so easily break apart
Yes, give me a Heart of Steel
One that pain can never pierce or mar
Give me a Heart of Steel
 
Oh, I’ve been through this routine before
Keeps coming back just like a bad penny
Love’s spinning ‘round like a revolving door
Until I’m left without any
 
CLIMB
Tin Man, what did you want with a heart?
Hearts are too easily broken
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
BRIDGE
Oh, I’ve lost count of all the times
Love has pierced me like a dart
Oh, and of all the countless crimes
That were perpetrated against my heart
 
Oh yes, I want a heart made of steel
I want to stop the way that love mistreats me
Once and for all I’ll end this pain I feel
Never again let love defeat me
Give me a heart of steel…
