| 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) |
