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
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

    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.
