Story About a Man with a Bad Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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" [Bridge] 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 [Outro] 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 judge 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)
