Story About A Man With A Bad Heart Lyrics
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.
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.
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.
And now I'm on my knees,
my wife screams, "What's Wrong!?"
As the stereo plays our song, Only in Dreams.
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.
And now I'm on my knees,
and I scream, "This was wrong!"
As I leave, the stereo plays the song, The Finishing.
Lying there with a broken heart on bedroom floors.
And finally, finally I realize,
I realize that I'm only a man.
And if a simple man believes,
will it start again with me?
To cut out every inch of dead heart I've made.

I’m watching this screen, These lies laid 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 me 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’m standing in this heat I’m standing in the name Because I take control of this person behind my hands
I think thats like 99% right for the remaining end screaming, theres a few things im not positive about but its a start.
A song about adultry and the regret that goes with it. Plain and simple. Emery's newest album is very powerful!

I agree I love that part of the song but no lyrics are posted for it.

Sooo. I listened to it in Windows Media Player 9 and slowed it down to hear it. Here is what i could come up with. I couldn't understand it all

I'm watching this screen these lives played out before my eyes how they know everything everything comes easy I've never had it easy! I was never lucky! It was never easy! and you sit there and you judge my (commitment-i question commitment) you people can say that i am a bad guy because i was weak, i was weak once or twice well let me...

The second chorus should say:
"Suddenly everything shakes, as my protection brakes."
This is an awesome song. But one of my favorite part has to be towards the end where he's not really singing anymore, he's just sort of yelling and it's really powerful... I'm just trying to find out what he's saying, I can't the lyrics to that part of the song anywhere...
And you sit there, and you judge MY COMMITMENT
i think thats a correction?
Instead of "Because I take control of this person behind my hands." I believe it really is "Because I CAN'T control this person behind my hands."
Amazing song, nonetheless. :] I love the whole theme to Emery's new album.
My favorite part is the screaming too...and i HATE screamo. it's my favorite song because of just that emotion...when he says "well i NEVER had it easy...i was NEVER lucky....fucking wow.
does he say "you sit there, and you judge my COMMITMENT?" for sure?
I really want to know what he says. For some reason it kinda sounds like CHARISMA...but that wouldn't make much sense.
I also think he says "well let me tell you "i'm standing in the NEED"...and he says it twice. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it sounds more like that than "heat" or "name"
i agree with twocementshoes. i'm pretty sure that he's saying "i am standing in the need..." &it's my favorite part of the song. don't quote me, but i'm fairly certain that "standing in the need" is a southern baptist expression meaning you need God desperately at that moment. it's like a cry for help. i think that's what i used to hear when i was little.
Based on all this...
