MWAH Day 5: Empty

5/5/2017

Song: Tin Man
Artist: Miranda Lambert

The rain of the past few days is the perfect backdrop for writing about feelings of emptiness. Although those feelings come with less frequency now, I still have days where no amount of cuddles with Brayden or love from my husband can fill that empty void left behind by Ryan. When I first heard this song, I cried so hard. Then I downloaded it, and played it on repeat more times than I could count. And then I sang it and sang it and sang it until I could get through it without developing a lump in my throat. It's so beautiful and so accurately describes the horrible ache of a broken heart.

Lyrics:
Hey there, Mr. Tin Man
You don't know how lucky you are
You shouldn't spend your whole life wishin'
For something bound to fall apart

Every time you're feeling empty
Better thank your lucky stars
If you ever felt one breakin'
You'd never want a heart


Hey there, Mr. Tin Man
You don't know how lucky you are
I've been on the road that you're on
It didn't get me very far

You ain't missin' nothin'
'Cause love is so damn hard
Take it from me darlin', you don't want a heart

Hey there, Mr. Tin Man
Glad we talked this out
You can take mine if you want it
It's in pieces now

By the way there, Mr. Tin Man
If you don't mind the scars
You give me your armor
And you can have my heart
