Story About A Man With A Bad Heart (Live)

Watch your makeup

there is 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 out 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 mad)

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
