I love Miranda Lambert songs. They are great, in the country genre, and this really means something to me. Honestly, when I first heard the song, I cried.

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 breaking
You'd never want a heart

In these lyrics, she's talking to someone (The Tin Man) who hasn't been in a relationship before, or someone who cannot love, about how having a heart and "feeling someone breaking" is and how it hurts.

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 missing nothing
'Cause love is so damn hard
Take it from me, darling
You don't want a heart

Then she's telling the person that she's been on that road, where she hasn't been in love before but wants to, and that when she got in love, it's hard.she then says "You don't want a heart" (she's clearly talking about a past relationship.. *cough* Blake Shelton!)

Hey there, Mr. Tin Man
I'm 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

This is the sad part where she says that she could give them her heart, even though its in pieces, meaning that hearts break (...duh) and explains if they don't mind getting hurt or they're heart breaking,they can have her heart.
In conclusion, the song talks about a person who wants to love, but she's telling them why they shouldn't want to.
