Watch your makeup,
|
There is just a smudge beneath the eye.
|
You look great in that dress,
|
It hits every curve just right.
|
We've 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.
|
|
(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.)
|
|
I'm watching this screen
|
These lies played out before my eyes
|
And how they know everything
|
Everything comes easy
|
Well I never had it easy
|
I was never lucky
|
It was never easy
|
And you sit there
|
And you judge my commitment
|
|
(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.)
|
|
You people could say that I'm the bad guy
|
Because I was weak
|
I was weak once or twice
|
Well let me tell you
|
I'm standing in the lead
|
I am standing in the lead
|
Because I can't control this person behind my hands
