Corey is so talented its ridiculous. I have listened to this song so many times I've lost count. The harmonizing and simple acoustic is almost haunting. One of my favorite songs.
I think Corey's voice is the best, it's so powerful... he can sing anything, there's no limit, and he sings from his heart... he's a really talented musician.
My best friend died from a heroin overdose and this song was playing when we found him. He sold his soul chasing a high that he never caught! Rest easy Aaron. I hope you’re at peace now.
When you think you've found someone who you can see yourself spending the rest of your life with, it totally sucks when it doesn't work out. Missing her a little extra lately.
100%, brother. It sucks. And to the person who came up with "it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all"...they can get fucked. Lol
I feel this song so much in my heart and my soul. Sometimes loving someone who doesn't love you back anymore is hell, not only in your heart but in your mind. Your mind plays tricks on you thinking you're not enough. Or maybe it's just the hell I've been living.
One of my best friends, a person who I considered a sister to me, sadly passed away in her sleep last Friday at 42 years old. She, like me, was a massive Stone Sour fan and today at work, listening to Stone Sour on a shuffle on Spotify, this song came on and I broke. The lyrics just fit my feelings knowing she is no longer here. Kelly, I fucking miss you xxx
I always come back to this song when my life is shit,makes me remember that me losing you…nothing can ever be worse that! Almost 3 years and I think of you damn near daily. Hearing this song also gives me hope we’ll cross paths before this life is over and finish what we started🙏🏼❤️🥺
Mj Dubbs I totally agree! His lyrics are just simply flawless. Whatever he's writing about, I'm sure a lot of people can identify themselves. I know I can. Especially with this song... those lyrics make my skin crawl. F*cking awesome!!!
“Perfectly Imperfect” took on an entirely new meaning when I lost the love of my life to an overdose of heroin laced with fentanyl just over 4yrs years ago while I was getting ready to complete rehab. . . I have not been the same since BUT I am still clean and now working with addicts to help them find the light. . .
This entire album came out at a perfect time back in the day when I was betrayed by the girl I thought I would marry. It helped me through every emotion I had about it then fast forward I found my soul mate we are happily married. Never lose hope
I know you'll see this one day and when you do I just want you to remember you're not alone and you'll always have a piece of who I used to be in your hands. I haven't cried since you left, I just can't do it anymore but I'm haunted by a strong feeling of emptiness, I wake up and search for you in the bed every night and then I go back to sleep hoping that this feeling will go away in the morning. I miss you so much and I'm sorry for everything. I can't wait to meet you in another life, until then, take care my love
The song that marked my one and only break up. It was the hardest year of my life but now Im in a better place. If youre going through a loss I promise It gets better with time, just hang in there. I love you.
Completely under rated artist! I love this his voice and passion in his lyrics emoted into his voice for our ears to hear and souls to feel [I know deep right :-)]. On my Bucket list -please come to Tucson or Phoenix Arizona! PLEASE!!!!!!
This is such a beautiful song....i honestly think it touches my heart bc of the death of a RELATIONSHIP... anyone who can sing ABOUT such a true raw feeling that we all have experienced in our life....it makes it even better to know music is a healing process and a power that is passed on to us from within another's words into our heart and souls
...I'ts just one more goodbye... Amo cuando dice esta frase, es impresionante la voz de Corey, cante fuerte o suave, de cualquier forma su voz es perfecta ...♥
My best friend died on M523..miss her more than any living thing on this rock called earth. Pain..is something I’ve known since I was the age of 4..50 yrs later. Went from strong to broken
I'm going through a divorce after 15 years 2 kids 3 cats 1 dog. I woke up to this song playing in my head. Alone in a room looking at the ceiling. I don't want it to be over.
It's the stillness and the quiet I fight so hard because in those moments there is nothing to drown out the pain of your absence...but every now and then I seek them out just so I can feel the pain it's all I have left of you. Most the time. I forget that I'm alive...
December 8 2016 I carried my little sisters dead body with the medical examiner and put her in his van. I have listened to this song a thousand times every time I think about her. She was 33 years old. Please don't take people for granted. People say it gets easier with to.e but for me it gets worse. I miss her. She was the only support I had when I tried to kill myself and when I got totally sooner five years ago. She saved me and I couldn't save her. Thank you Corey Taylor. This song does bring smiles through the pain when I hear it.
I’m so sorry... the bond I have with my brother is one of the few things in my moments of despair that kept me from making that final decision. I never want him to bury his sister. My heart feels your pain...
I recently discovered stone sour and this band is amazing! Especially Cory Taylor. My ex girlfriend is a severe drug addict and some of their songs really hit me in my feels. I love you Stin 💔
sometimes the words we do not say are the most powerful. this song (in the context of a loved one passing away) gives a voice to the thoughts we all have but do not say because of the harshness. we listen to the lies and people telling us "its going to be ok" but no... no its not fucking ok. the pain is real, the fight the we have with our own minds is real and the anger is real and all of these things leave lasting scars. we learn to live with them but every death we experience kills the person we were and a new broken version of our self is created.
I will never look back in life and wish I would have told someone how I felt. I’ll risk it all (and have) lose it all (and did) to tell someone I love them. That I was IN love with them. Didn’t turn out anything like I’d hoped.
Sadly true... I’m learning tho that sometimes the truth is spoken but we (I) didn’t have the healing I needed for myself to back those words up. It was said by a friend of mine once “don’t open a door unless you’re ready to walk through it” I felt that to my core.
corey is such a gifted brilliant musician his lyrics are mostly always deep meaningful dark and his voice is seriously of of the best ive ever heard range tone low and high notes hes just brilliant overall i already loved his work with his other band slipknot but he showed me a different side here well done
Sick as always... True vocal contender of our generation..the CFT & his bad ads passion. Love that he he takes it to a musical level instead of just playing..
Never get tired of listening to this song, hell its exactly what im going through all what the lyrics are talking about, the end of a relationshipand it totally sucks
I have never been so in love with a song. It ties into my life right now in such a way I can’t quite describe. It brings me peace and yet breaks my heart too. Maybe because that’s the way the person who I relate this song to makes me feel.
2019 I can’t here this song enough it’s perfect in every way.Its just beautiful putting stone sour in my play list was one of the best things I could of ever done amazing ❤️💋
My girlfriend died 2 days after her 25th birthday has her 8 year old son stood at the door and watched as she took her last breath and feel back in my arms and there was nothing wrong with her it was a shock, sometimes when someone's old or sick people prepare themselves but we had just celebrated her birthday the night before we stayed up talking all night just to wake up to see her sitting in my bathroom floor gasping for breath as I talked to 911 operator I was rubbing her back she said I can't and fell back onto my legs as her 8 year old son watched and it has destroyed me and it takes everything in me not to follow her cuz I don't like living without her but even worse than the fact that I'm alone is the fact that when I dream at night I see her little boy's face crying watching his mother died so I wake up and force myself to stay awake till I can no longer hold my head open and pass out into a state where hopefully I won't dream... I don't know how much longer I can stay strong and just not give in and kill myself but I make myself get up every day because I know that's what she would want me to do and I don't believe in heaven or hell but I really hope wherever she is she's looking down on me waiting for me to join her... For now I'll fight the demons in my sleep and the face of her little boy haunting my thoughts... Make sure you take the time to tell the ones you love how you feel because you never know what tomorrow holds. She was 25 years old with no sickness nothing and she just stopped breathing so please don't take people for granted and don't take it your life for granted because you never know when you might take your last breath
Dustin Eads , I feel a responsibility as human being to tell you it's gonna pass those things that haunt u will go away and be replaced with brighter days . don't dismiss the suffering there are lessons to be learned n kept but your suffering n pain I imagine has overstayed their welcome n you are still needed here in this world n it is not gonna be as good a world as it can be without you here with us. hope shit has gotten better I know it's months old but I had to reach out my dude. you got this shit so stand up chest out chin up and realise your tuff af look what u made it thru already.. much love from STL.
Dustin Eads. I lost my husband of 15 years last January I woke up to find him dead in bed they say it gets easier but would like to know when I had also just lost my mom in December a month before so I feel like a black cloud is hanging over me but your young fight your demons God bless take care
Dustin Eads I can feel your pain, it is unbearable at times , I am praying you can find some peace and happiness in your life now. I too have been traumatized. I felt the same as you after my sister and best friend died at 49 of a rare aggressive cancer. It changes you. There are some better days ahead, please believe that. You are in my prayers at night, and of coarse her little boy. Jesus Christ will be that light. It was for me. Hope you are doing ok now. Wish I saw your post sooner. Shelly e
i still fucking love you with all my guts!!. I'll sure die without letting you go. Is not just Corey singing, it's a soul expressing itself, it's a feeling became music and that's why we're so sympathetic to this song Ass Kicking song!!
I lost the love of my life back in October of last year it gets easier over time but you truly never get over it RIP Michelle I'll always love you baby
So traurig. Ich weiß es ist Geschwätz aber jeden Tag wird der Schmerz besser und dann, was bleibt ist eine wunderbare Erinnerung und das Glück das du Sie hattest
i think every 70s kid has this way of thinking about them trying to date now. everyone has flaws, but you get to where the flaws are the things you notice, like scars. and its not a flaw anymore, its a kind of shared pain. a kind of feeling you both have in common and connect with
This god damn song literally explains all the emotions I feel for her. Never felt so strong about someone and this song explains the pain. Drugs took over the most amazing person I’ve ever known. I pray she’s okay out there. It’s coming up on a year since you’ve been gone,Stin. I’m with someone and I’m happy but she’ll never be you....you’ll always be the one that got away. I love you girl but I’m grateful for the time I had with you. Thank you for this song!😞💔
I will always love you Carey Joe, guess it wasn't written in the stars. I died inside and I will go to my grave loving you baby. This song says it all.
It's had to let people go that you love. Maybe when I finally pass from this so called thing people call life, I will finally let everything go that I've held in my whole life.
I had to die to finally let you go. No song line ever could describe the hell I'm going through better, than that one. If you ever read this: I love you, I still do. But I had to go. One day you'll understand.
Thank you, and please feel hugged! And yes, escpecially Corey Taylor (whether it's Slipknot or Stone Sour - I'm thinking of "Snuff" here) is able to write down emotions perfectly in his slower songs, I think. He always finds the right words for every rough situation. I feel a little bit better by now but it still hurts so bad. He wasn't my "first love" but the first one I was able to say "I love you".
This song really gets at me, "do you wanna know how many times i tore myself apart cause youre not here?" Perfectly describes what i want to say to her, i want her to know the pain she caused me how hurt i am how close to the edge i am because of her. And it hurts even more because i know she is out there having the time of her life completely forgotten about me while im here holding myself back from burning myself alive
Very excited to be learning how to play this song on the acoustic guitar!! So beautifully written and powerful! Hope to have it nailed down sometime in October! Then posting a video!
Ive heard this song many times over the years, 5 years ago my fiancee was pregnant with what would of been my beautiful daughter, unfortunately we lost her, and then i lost her too. 5 years went by and i lost everything else. My job, my home, my dignity and my smile, ive been angry at the world ever since hoping for it all to burn down, it came to a climax this year with a couple of suicide attempts to which i was was saved, now i find this song again and it is helping me let go of some of that anger.
Love kills more men that war, and Colon cancer. I've turned down countless great opportunity for myself, for love. every time was cheated, lied and left with nothing.
its strange how this song touches so many people, and makes the recollect a time with a lost loved one, but for me it makes me think of a person who I did not even know. Well not really anyway. In 2002 i got in a car accident and a girl was killed. And I wonder what they wanted to hear, did they want to hear how many times i tore myself apart because she's not here. And after finding out all the details of who she was, she was so perfectly imperfect. She lived for others and was just an amazing human being who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have apologized to her in my prayers and I have done this so many times that I don't remember who i was before i started apologizing. It's crazy. and no they never tell you what to do when all you see is gone, because no one can bring it all back again. that's just life i guess, fragile in its entirety.
Saigen Rose - (very late comment you'll not likely see) Totally true. Why the hell are we even here to begin with? Goodbyes, Goodbyes, they never end, and from those you would never expect, that's when the lyric "I had to die to finally let you go" comes in. And why not. Makes sense to me. What's the point of it all? Is none.
Saw them at the Anaheim HoB basically every time they came through town. Corey did this solo acoustic during the set for that tour and fucking stopped time. 35 years of concerts and hundreds of shows and I will NEVER forget that version on that night.
This is one of those songs that can mean something completely different to anyone, relatable, but to the most emotionally trying times in a person's life. To have to die to let someone go, really really resonates with me, and tearing myself apart...my children were only children, they were not using their brains or their hearts, they are victims as much as I of their controlling father and parental alienation. But I know everything they gave up, everything they missed out on, and how it they ever mature mentally, they will be overwhelmed with guilt and shame, and as much as I miss them and want them to come home, I really don't know if it would not be better, make their lives easier, to just remain in their fake world where they don't realize the hideousness of the people that erased half of their family, the good half, that actually loved and put their needs first. But I know I will never let them go. And this is not living without them. They basically got enticed by a shiny penny and pretended that I never even existed, or did a thing for them. Kids talk so badly about their parents these days, everyone is being told to blame everything on their parents short-comings, and abandoning the one that would always be there, and then wondering why they are alone later on. When all the fake people disappear. They don't ever think about that they are killing their parent who loves them so very much and who don't just see them as part of their life, but as their LIFE. They act like everything was just expected and basic. Like their parents are scum if they only provide the minimum requirements, food, shelter, clothing, etc. But we remember everything you were too young to remember. We remember rocking you all through the night screaming when you were teething, and every thing else we did without thinking we would ever have to prove our worth to our own kids once they didn't need us anymore. What is so bad about loving your whole family? It feels pretty good to just love everyone for who they are and know they are just doing their best. No one should ever have to feel like they are not enough. My ex is definitely sadistic, and I feel like my kids are learning his behavior. He CHOSE to leave us, his family, because he wanted to be with another woman and start a new life. Whatever he says, that will always be true. I was the one that did everything for them. Their dad always lived his own life, put himself first, and they don't see how his " saving" them was coincidentally going to "save" him a substantial amount of money, but of course it was not his motivation...how he has tricked them for so many years. I wonder if they will ever see anything with their eyes open. I just wish that if this was how it should be, if it is going to be easier to forget me, that I would die, so I could just let them go. This is torture. Cruel and unsubstantiated torture.
This song makes me think of my son, I'm still asking why he walked away. The pain never goes away. He saved my life when I had him. He was my favorite hello and hardest goodbye
Corey is so talented its ridiculous. I have listened to this song so many times I've lost count. The harmonizing and simple acoustic is almost haunting. One of my favorite songs.
no vocalist has ever spoke to my soul in such a way.
One More Light live version by Linkin Park. Spoke to my heart directly.
Lynns Lullabies Same guy who sings Disasterpiece. Think about that.
I'm tempted to say that this is my favorite song of all time, but then I remember that this is not a song. This is pure emotion.
Truest coment ive ever seen on a video for music ✔💯
I think Corey's voice is the best, it's so powerful... he can sing anything, there's no limit, and he sings from his heart... he's a really talented musician.
Corey does have an incredible voice but his lyrics are amazing. I Noticed that right away the first time I heard them.
Thats right. I love his Songs like this
My best friend died from a heroin overdose and this song was playing when we found him. He sold his soul chasing a high that he never caught! Rest easy Aaron. I hope you’re at peace now.
my best friend just died the same way. sorry for your loss
God bless you guys ❤️
I'm so sorry that you lost your friend. I hope and pray that by this time you think of the good times when you think of him or hear this song
sorry for you sending healing love
❤️🙏
When you think you've found someone who you can see yourself spending the rest of your life with, it totally sucks when it doesn't work out. Missing her a little extra lately.
Same boat bro, at least we can take comfort in that it didn’t work because it didn’t work, we’ll find the right one someday
100%, brother. It sucks. And to the person who came up with "it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all"...they can get fucked. Lol
i feel your pain dude. life just screws us over repeatedly
I’m with you guys. I’ve thought about that girl almost everyday for the last 20 years. It’s gonna be ok fellas!
Right there with all you guys !!! 😭😭😭😭 this hurts like no other, apparently he had different intentions with me the whole time.
I feel this song so much in my heart and my soul. Sometimes loving someone who doesn't love you back anymore is hell, not only in your heart but in your mind. Your mind plays tricks on you thinking you're not enough. Or maybe it's just the hell I've been living.

Sorry for your loss bro that was do my tear fall
Just fantastic song from Stone Sour. I cannot say more... losing words anytime I hear it.
It's interesting that the song is "Imperfect," and yet it is perfect.
Could be the Point of the title....
What is perfection? How is it measured?
@@slap_A_flamingo Too deep to quick there Chris, too deep.
Like disasterpiece
Such an imperfectly perfect song.
I love the lyrics, and Corey's voice sounds amazing .
Twizted Metal corey is an amazing song writer and singer in both his bands
Here I am replying to your comment 7 years later, but I feel like Cory has a way of driving the soul of a song right into your heart.
I always come back to this song when my life is shit,makes me remember that me losing you…nothing can ever be worse that! Almost 3 years and I think of you damn near daily. Hearing this song also gives me hope we’ll cross paths before this life is over and finish what we started🙏🏼❤️🥺
“It took the death of hope to let you go” -Snuff
corey taylor has a way of speaking to our souls like no other.
What??
PLEASE READ A BOOK 🙁
I get ya bro, he is a true talent
I feel exactly the same way. He is the greatest!
He found my lost soul like no one else did.
Him and Layne Staley, man...
Huge hug to everyone struggling with life. God loves you and so do I. Pain is good sometimes, don't give up!
Corey's range in lyrics is pretty damn great
One of the greatest lyricist of all time in my opinion no question about it
Mj Dubbs I totally agree! His lyrics are just simply flawless. Whatever he's writing about, I'm sure a lot of people can identify themselves. I know I can. Especially with this song... those lyrics make my skin crawl. F*cking awesome!!!
I still don't understand Mirai Nikki tbh
Yuno Gasai Corey is a God!

One of the best, lol makes it worse when your heart has been obliterated into atoms
I know you'll see this one day and when you do I just want you to remember you're not alone and you'll always have a piece of who I used to be in your hands.

Amo cuando dice esta frase, es impresionante la voz de Corey, cante fuerte o suave, de cualquier forma su voz es perfecta ...♥
La cago.... Me gusta la parte como irónica de does It make You feel Alive ? I had to die. To let you go
Beautiful song! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!
My best friend died on M523..miss her more than any living thing on this rock called earth. Pain..is something I’ve known since I was the age of 4..50 yrs later. Went from strong to broken

I hope you're well brother. Stay strong and make your sister proud.
Seeing it happened on Dec 8, Corey's birthday. Sad to hear man.
I’m so sorry... the bond I have with my brother is one of the few things in my moments of despair that kept me from making that final decision. I never want him to bury his sister. My heart feels your pain...
I am so sorry for your loss. A brother and sisters bond is like no other. My thoughts are with you my friend... and she is always with you still...
I recently discovered stone sour and this band is amazing! Especially Cory Taylor. My ex girlfriend is a severe drug addict and some of their songs really hit me in my feels. I love you Stin 💔
sometimes the words we do not say are the most powerful. this song (in the context of a loved one passing away) gives a voice to the thoughts we all have but do not say because of the harshness. we listen to the lies and people telling us "its going to be ok" but no... no its not fucking ok. the pain is real, the fight the we have with our own minds is real and the anger is real and all of these things leave lasting scars. we learn to live with them but every death we experience kills the person we were and a new broken version of our self is created.

Corey is amazing, in each song he sounds slightly different. The emotions and heartbreak are in each note. It builds up to the last note.
Alice in Chains had Nutshell, Stone Sour has Imperfect
they sound so similar!
Aic had love hate love….SS equal would be Imperfect…but I love the way you think. 🤜🏼
@@jasonfitzgerald9006 Maybe because I heard Corey singing Nutshell is why I made the connection
Wtf I always listen AIC and the SS I thought it was a thing of mine that one band took me to another but they have connection I see😂😎🤟🏻
Love hate love is better
10 months later and its the same pain, its only gotten easier to ignore
jorden nelson it doesn't go away.. thirteen years later and after hearing this song I still feel it.
It never goes away, it gets a bit easier, yes
jorden nelson I wanna know how to ignore it...
corey is such a gifted brilliant musician his lyrics are mostly always deep meaningful dark and his voice is seriously of of the best ive ever heard range tone low and high notes hes just brilliant overall i already loved his work with his other band slipknot but he showed me a different side here well done
Honest this man doesn't fail to capture my mind with his voice and songs, these kind of mood of songs by him are my favourites
Sick as always... True vocal contender of our generation..the CFT & his bad ads passion. Love that he he takes it to a musical level instead of just playing..
This song is a masterpiece. Period.
Never get tired of listening to this song, hell its exactly what im going through all what the lyrics are talking about, the end of a relationshipand it totally sucks
A song for a broken soul..
I think these lyrics describe most break ups ,this song is making me cry right now .
I have never been so in love with a song. It ties into my life right now in such a way I can’t quite describe. It brings me peace and yet breaks my heart too. Maybe because that’s the way the person who I relate this song to makes me feel.
2019 and still hits a chord in the soul
This is a masterpiece props to the producer who edited it perfectly well done.
Hits home and damn it's real.
Just pure heart and emotion you're the best Corey and your two bands slipknot and stone sour
man....another great song I remember bying there first album when I was 16 and still to this day they still blow me away :-)
Going through a hard place right now in my life. This and Hesitate is hitting it right where I need it....Corey is fucking awesome.
Thank you for this song
2019 I can’t here this song enough it’s perfect in every way.Its just beautiful putting stone sour in my play list was one of the best things I could of ever done amazing ❤️💋
I "tore my self apart" so many times, I lost some of the pieces..
My girlfriend died 2 days after her 25th birthday has her 8 year old son stood at the door and watched as she took her last breath and feel back in my arms and there was nothing wrong with her it was a shock, sometimes when someone's old or sick people prepare themselves but we had just celebrated her birthday the night before we stayed up talking all night just to wake up to see her sitting in my bathroom floor gasping for breath as I talked to 911 operator I was rubbing her back she said I can't and fell back onto my legs as her 8 year old son watched and it has destroyed me and it takes everything in me not to follow her cuz I don't like living without her but even worse than the fact that I'm alone is the fact that when I dream at night I see her little boy's face crying watching his mother died so I wake up and force myself to stay awake till I can no longer hold my head open and pass out into a state where hopefully I won't dream... I don't know how much longer I can stay strong and just not give in and kill myself but I make myself get up every day because I know that's what she would want me to do and I don't believe in heaven or hell but I really hope wherever she is she's looking down on me waiting for me to join her... For now I'll fight the demons in my sleep and the face of her little boy haunting my thoughts... Make sure you take the time to tell the ones you love how you feel because you never know what tomorrow holds. She was 25 years old with no sickness nothing and she just stopped breathing so please don't take people for granted and don't take it your life for granted because you never know when you might take your last breath
Dustin Eads I'm so sorry for your loss. She is with you all the time. U will know that one day. Sending love and light your way xxx
Dustin Eads , I feel a responsibility as human being to tell you it's gonna pass those things that haunt u will go away and be replaced with brighter days . don't dismiss the suffering there are lessons to be learned n kept but your suffering n pain I imagine has overstayed their welcome n you are still needed here in this world n it is not gonna be as good a world as it can be without you here with us. hope shit has gotten better I know it's months old but I had to reach out my dude. you got this shit so stand up chest out chin up and realise your tuff af look what u made it thru already.. much love from STL.
Dustin Eads. I lost my husband of 15 years last January I woke up to find him dead in bed they say it gets easier but would like to know when I had also just lost my mom in December a month before so I feel like a black cloud is hanging over me but your young fight your demons God bless take care
Dustin Eads I can feel your pain, it is unbearable at times , I am praying you can find some peace and happiness in your life now. I too have been traumatized. I felt the same as you after my sister and best friend died at 49 of a rare aggressive cancer. It changes you. There are some better days ahead, please believe that. You are in my prayers at night, and of coarse her little boy. Jesus Christ will be that light. It was for me. Hope you are doing ok now. Wish I saw your post sooner. Shelly e
Reminds me of a death of a loved one too
Such an underrated song... those lyrics 👌🏼💯
I dont care what anyone says. This song helped me through so much. Made me realize my worth thank you stone sour and cory Taylor most if alll
I heard this right after a brake up..this song is amazing and it was like a gift sent to me to help me understand the pain......
i still fucking love you with all my guts!!. I'll sure die without letting you go.
Is not just Corey singing, it's a soul expressing itself, it's a feeling became music and that's why we're so sympathetic to this song
Ass Kicking song!!
I lost the love of my life back in October of last year it gets easier over time but you truly never get over it RIP Michelle I'll always love you baby
D. Angel condolences from my family to yours
I hope you're well brother.
So traurig. Ich weiß es ist Geschwätz aber jeden Tag wird der Schmerz besser und dann, was bleibt ist eine wunderbare Erinnerung und das Glück das du Sie hattest
Stone sour at their best. Spectacular!
i think every 70s kid has this way of thinking about them trying to date now. everyone has flaws, but you get to where the flaws are the things you notice, like scars. and its not a flaw anymore, its a kind of shared pain. a kind of feeling you both have in common and connect with
damn corey... you always bring tears on my face... take care, you are a treasure! pretty high emotional intelligence you have ❤
Definitely A Favorite!♡
Hits Home..♡
When you love somebody it truly like you really are dying while you are letting them go
Yeah it is, its very painful, sometimes I wish I never loved, but then again it's one of the best feelings
Jesus will never leave or forsake you.
This god damn song literally explains all the emotions I feel for her. Never felt so strong about someone and this song explains the pain. Drugs took over the most amazing person I’ve ever known. I pray she’s okay out there. It’s coming up on a year since you’ve been gone,Stin. I’m with someone and I’m happy but she’ll never be you....you’ll always be the one that got away. I love you girl but I’m grateful for the time I had with you. Thank you for this song!😞💔
When he cries "OOOOOOOOH" I was waiting for the "never kill myself to save my soul" lol
Really hahahaha
that was an unsainted thing you just did
corey you're a god, your voice is just perfect for everything
I will always love you Carey Joe, guess it wasn't written in the stars. I died inside and I will go to my grave loving you baby. This song says it all.
It's had to let people go that you love. Maybe when I finally pass from this so called thing people call life, I will finally let everything go that I've held in my whole life.
I only really listen to rap music but everytime I’m trying to get past an emotional barrier in my life i find myself back to this song
This track gets me every time. 🖤
Congrats on the million that listen to this amazing song and his artwork
just heard this song tonight and fell in love with it.
I had to die to finally let you go.
No song line ever could describe the hell I'm going through better, than that one. If you ever read this: I love you, I still do. But I had to go. One day you'll understand.
I'm not alone lol
Thank you, and please feel hugged! And yes, escpecially Corey Taylor (whether it's Slipknot or Stone Sour - I'm thinking of "Snuff" here) is able to write down emotions perfectly in his slower songs, I think. He always finds the right words for every rough situation. I feel a little bit better by now but it still hurts so bad. He wasn't my "first love" but the first one I was able to say "I love you".
I had to die to finally let you go 💔💔💔
"it took the death of hope to let you go" snuff
Another amazing string of lyrics
Does anyone feel like they have taken acid
?? Just saying.
T.c. warren
I love the lyrics of this song, It reminds me of myself and how my life is....
I had to die to finally let you go..... 💔
You're beautiful O_O
Becky Mitchell that line nailed me too.
Right
cant let go of half of all of us.. Allaboutu.. Dafuque.. Livitit.. Allovit🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 hideNdiewityalies... Damu.jn💔
Feel it!
This song really gets at me, "do you wanna know how many times i tore myself apart cause youre not here?" Perfectly describes what i want to say to her, i want her to know the pain she caused me how hurt i am how close to the edge i am because of her. And it hurts even more because i know she is out there having the time of her life completely forgotten about me while im here holding myself back from burning myself alive
This is my first time listening to this song (but I love Corey) and I'm nearly crying r.i.p. :) I relate to this to much.
Tolle Stimme tolle Lieder toller Mann
He sent this to me last week.
10 years of regret.
every. single. day.
i was so wrong.
This song is like a follow up to Snuff
Very excited to be learning how to play this song on the acoustic guitar!! So beautifully written and powerful! Hope to have it nailed down sometime in October! Then posting a video!
Did you end up doing it?
Do you wanna know how many times I tore myself apart because you're not here? Would love to ask em that my damn self.
ME TOO.
#AlienFrequency
Love this song all around, sound and lyrics are Amazing!! ♥♥IT!! ;-)
Corey Taylors lyrics are genious. The story gets rewritten so the blasphemy continues once again.

Ive heard this song many times over the years, 5 years ago my fiancee was pregnant with what would of been my beautiful daughter, unfortunately we lost her, and then i lost her too. 5 years went by and i lost everything else. My job, my home, my dignity and my smile, ive been angry at the world ever since hoping for it all to burn down, it came to a climax this year with a couple of suicide attempts to which i was was saved, now i find this song again and it is helping me let go of some of that anger.
is it just me or does love feel like a frightening word? 😭💔
CrashCity Undead fuck yeah it's terrifying
Love kills more men that war, and Colon cancer. I've turned down countless great opportunity for myself, for love. every time was cheated, lied and left with nothing.
Jay Lee sorry you feel that one. But you 're not the only one.
Jay Lee that way I meant to say
Jay Lee it happens. We all have to overcome and relieve till we have our one
Nothing is coincidental...I cant believe I haven't heard this song until tonight...song literally saved me!
I love this song!!
its strange how this song touches so many people, and makes the recollect a time with a lost loved one, but for me it makes me think of a person who I did not even know. Well not really anyway. In 2002 i got in a car accident and a girl was killed. And I wonder what they wanted to hear, did they want to hear how many times i tore myself apart because she's not here. And after finding out all the details of who she was, she was so perfectly imperfect. She lived for others and was just an amazing human being who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have apologized to her in my prayers and I have done this so many times that I don't remember who i was before i started apologizing. It's crazy. and no they never tell you what to do when all you see is gone, because no one can bring it all back again. that's just life i guess, fragile in its entirety.
"Imperfect" is so perfect
i miss him sm
What's the sense of anything when it's just one more goodbye.
Saigen Rose - (very late comment you'll not likely see) Totally true. Why the hell
are we even here to begin with? Goodbyes, Goodbyes, they never end, and from
those you would never expect, that's when the lyric "I had to die to finally let you
go" comes in. And why not. Makes sense to me. What's the point of it all? Is none.
Not whats been before the time changes things when we are together no more.
Saw them at the Anaheim HoB basically every time they came through town. Corey did this solo acoustic during the set for that tour and fucking stopped time. 35 years of concerts and hundreds of shows and I will NEVER forget that version on that night.
This is one of those songs that can mean something completely different to anyone, relatable, but to the most emotionally trying times in a person's life. To have to die to let someone go, really really resonates with me, and tearing myself apart...my children were only children, they were not using their brains or their hearts, they are victims as much as I of their controlling father and parental alienation. But I know everything they gave up, everything they missed out on, and how it they ever mature mentally, they will be overwhelmed with guilt and shame, and as much as I miss them and want them to come home, I really don't know if it would not be better, make their lives easier, to just remain in their fake world where they don't realize the hideousness of the people that erased half of their family, the good half, that actually loved and put their needs first. But I know I will never let them go. And this is not living without them. They basically got enticed by a shiny penny and pretended that I never even existed, or did a thing for them. Kids talk so badly about their parents these days, everyone is being told to blame everything on their parents short-comings, and abandoning the one that would always be there, and then wondering why they are alone later on. When all the fake people disappear. They don't ever think about that they are killing their parent who loves them so very much and who don't just see them as part of their life, but as their LIFE. They act like everything was just expected and basic. Like their parents are scum if they only provide the minimum requirements, food, shelter, clothing, etc. But we remember everything you were too young to remember. We remember rocking you all through the night screaming when you were teething, and every thing else we did without thinking we would ever have to prove our worth to our own kids once they didn't need us anymore. What is so bad about loving your whole family? It feels pretty good to just love everyone for who they are and know they are just doing their best. No one should ever have to feel like they are not enough. My ex is definitely sadistic, and I feel like my kids are learning his behavior. He CHOSE to leave us, his family, because he wanted to be with another woman and start a new life. Whatever he says, that will always be true. I was the one that did everything for them. Their dad always lived his own life, put himself first, and they don't see how his " saving" them was coincidentally going to "save" him a substantial amount of money, but of course it was not his motivation...how he has tricked them for so many years. I wonder if they will ever see anything with their eyes open. I just wish that if this was how it should be, if it is going to be easier to forget me, that I would die, so I could just let them go. This is torture. Cruel and unsubstantiated torture.
Beautiful!
This song is a song that i play at my funeral today mykael you just was everything i looked high n low for you fought as hard as i could
Love is every emotion there is
COREY'S VOICE IS SO SOULFUL N THIS SONG IS DEEPER THEN THE LYRICS
This song makes me think of my son, I'm still asking why he walked away. The pain never goes away. He saved my life when I had him. He was my favorite hello and hardest goodbye
