Story About A Man With A Bad Heart

[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)
