| Watch your makeup
 | 
| There’s just a smudge beneath the eye
 | 
| You look great in that dress
 | 
| It hits every curve just right
 | 
| We’re got dinner at eight, and then drinks by nine
 | 
| I love you so, it’s our anniversary tonight
 | 
| Suddenly everything shakes as if it’s starting to break
 | 
| And now I’m on my knees
 | 
| My wife screams, «What's Wrong!?»
 | 
| As the stereo plays our song, Only In Dreams
 | 
| Just last Friday is when my heart failed again
 | 
| I was thinking that I should find a friend
 | 
| I bought her several drinks
 | 
| And slipped the ring into my hand
 | 
| We drove to her place
 | 
| And let the good times roll again
 | 
| Suddenly everything shakes as my protection breaks
 | 
| And now I’m on my knees
 | 
| And I scream, «This was wrong!»
 | 
| As I leave, the stereo plays the song, «The Finishing»
 | 
| Is this it? | 
| Is this how I have spent my life?
 | 
| Lying there with a broken heart on bedroom floors
 | 
| And finally, finally, I realize
 | 
| I realize that I’m only a man
 | 
| I’m only a man
 | 
| I’m only a man
 | 
| I’m only a man
 | 
| Watching this screen
 | 
| These lives played out before my eyes
 | 
| And how they know everything
 | 
| Everything comes easy
 | 
| I never had it easy
 | 
| I was never lucky
 | 
| It was never easy
 | 
| And you sit there and you just my commitment
 | 
| You people can say that I’m the bad guy
 | 
| Because I was weak
 | 
| I was weak once or twice
 | 
| Well let me tell you
 | 
| I am standing in the need
 | 
| I am standing in the need
 | 
| Because I can’t control this person behind my hands
 | 
| (One thing I have to know, where did the miracles go?
 | 
| And if a simple man believes
 | 
| Will it start again with me?)
 | 
| (If I were the maker I would fashion out a blade
 | 
| To cut out every inch of dead heart I’ve made) |
