I can't remember how many times I listened to this crying my eyes out thinking my life was over with a broken heart. Years later I can listen to this and have all those memories come back now married and with a beautiful son.. to anyone who thinks life is over, it's NOT! trust me
Thanks! Took me years to get over the first love of my life. Eventually found a girl that was even better for me, thought we would get married and have kids... then she broke up with me. Back to square one. Gonna be a long painful journey again.
I'm sending a prayer for everyone who is going through anything tough to get over without there other half beside them... I just woke up and she's gone, as usual I still love her and miss her.. God please make this pain go away!!!!
I interpret the lyrics slighty diffrent. I lost my daughter in 2011 while deployed in Afghanistan and she's all i think about when i hear this. Due to the location and situation of my deployment i wasnt able to go to her funeral. Ive played it at her grave many times.
I know a lot of people associate this song with lost loves and failed relationships, and so do I. I also think of my brother when I hear this song. This stems from me dreaming about him and when I woke up I was crying and humming this song. You see, I lost my brother to a motorcycle accident 7/31/2016. I talked to him the day before and was going to see him the day of. As I was preparing to go see him I got the heartbreaking phone call that he was involved in an accident and was pronounced dead at the scene. Since that day I have been lost without my best friend. When I dream of him my dreams may be of us enjoying time together, but my heart is always broken when I awake. I miss you Chase.
jamaicadarden 😢 i know how u feel. lost my bro last month and i can still hear his voice and i wait for his phone call. this one is hard to swallow but i know he is home with God. He died frm cancer. 💗
I get jealous when I hear people say they have good/close with their siblings. I'm very big on family, it's always been my nature. But unfortunately I don't have a close relationship with any of my siblings. My mindset is completely different. They're not really nice people. But it is what it is. I just stay on my own.
Same here love. I lost my sister to a car accident and this was one of our fav songs. Then almost 2 yrs later I lost my mom. So anytime I hear this song I cry.
I was literally dreaming with a broken heart; I dreamed my ex took me back. At the moment it was the happiest feeling I've ever experienced in my life: I told her if you took me back, It would be the best thing that has ever happened to me! It seemed so real & hopeful... Then I woke up... "When you're dreaming with a broken heart, waking up is the hardest part."... "When you're dreaming with a broken heart, giving up is the hardest part."
In 2013, I used to listened to this song at night and cry so bad. Thinking about a guy who I love so much but he didn't choose me...I was so heartbroken for 9 months. Now I'm no longer heart broken. I'm a happy wife and a thankful mother ♥️ no longer able to feel the sadness of this song. To all of you out there, if he/she didn't choose you, don't give up. Yes you can take all the time in the world to cry and heal. But never ever ruined your soul and body for somone who don't deserve your love. One day, that one person will come to you and makes you feel it is all worth it. 'Good things fall apart so BETTER things can fall together' Take care ❤️
Thanks! ❤ I was so heartbroken for 10 months over a guy who love bombed me and was able to easily replace me within a couple days after we stopped talking. Still healing...going on 11 months now but I'm feeling better...it doesn't hurt that much anymore...taking it one day at a time
If you've lived long enough...and I have...there is someone special who broke your heart. No matter how much time passes or how happy you are with someone else there are quiet moments when you stop and think...remember...wonder...
Mom I feel exactly like this, I miss you soooo very much and a part of me is gone since you went home with God!!! Always loved and ne Momver forgotten!!! RIP
This kills me. The love of my life died may 20th 2013. 5 days after his 21st birthday. I have stayed up so many nights curled u0 in a ball crying, my heart breaking to pieces reminiscences of the times we had, and wishing for the time we never had. I would dream so vividly of him and I would be s9 happy, then I would wake up and for a moment be so confuses when I realized he wasn't actually alive anymore....and the sadness would be so overwhelming the majority of the morning. I see clouds, I think of him, I see a blue bird, him...hear adele...who he loved, there he is again. Over and over and over. Anyways....that's all I had to say.
Goddamn, nothing more painful and heavier or tortuous than heartbreak...especially from someone who had shown you how much they’ve loved you back at one point.
I lost my wife unexpectedly in 2020 due to a heart issue she was just 42. I often see her in my dreams as I sleep. I relate to this song in so many ways. Such as taking roses with me as I sleep to try to give them to her. I don’t think a day goes by that she doesn’t cross my mind at almost 3 years later. RIP Angela.
My little sister passed away in her sleep last year in October 2017 and I was the one who found her while getting ready for work and...to see her just laying there so still was extremely devastating😔😢💔 my heart literally dropped out of my chest while falling to my knees in tears.... I wish I wasn’t the one who found her because now every time I close my eyes I relive that moment and it just kills me....how do you fix a broken 💔 when the person who broke it is gone forever 😧😥😔
This song I played the day before my mom's heart attack. I played it for her. I miss her too much. I was diagnosed with PTSD and Complicated Grief. Please, offer love to your loved ones. You never know when it's too late. I love you all.
My grandfather recently passed in December of old age and I can’t help but think of him when I hear this song. The night after his funeral I dreamt that I was a kid again, sitting in his lap, reading a book with him. I woke up sobbing. I miss him so much but I know he’s a lot better off wherever he is. Love you Poppy ♥️♥️
I remember slowly waking up on the couch in my dorm room/apartment at [a university], to the sound of [her] fingers clicking away at my computer keyboard, faint scent of jasmine or lavender, sometimes her sweet voice would just spontaneously sing... I was in heaven. To slowly awaken to the ambient sensations of her presence was something I loved so much that I cannot adequately describe it. I absolutely loved her. Her mere presence was like a drug to me. And I remember waking up after everyone was gone. Too slow and depressed to quickly pack up and leave like all the other students had. I took a few days. I needed a few days. Years later, I heard a song by John Mayer called "Dreaming with a Broken Heart" and thought how well the song describes it. I woke this morning with the lingering sense of her presence in my dream, where our hands touched. I remember looking at her fingers, and then into her eyes, and she drifted away. It was more than 22 years ago.
I fell in love with a woman, I had a tragic accident that required me to have reconstructive surgery on my knee. This woman I had barely been talking too for a month and a half maybe, dropped everything to take care of me. In that instance I truly knew what is like to love someone and to be loved by someone. About a month into my recovery she was arrested, well she has multiple personality disorder, the reason that is pertaining is because she was not getting her meds while incarcerated. I heard from her maybe twice in the time span of her incarceration. Come time for her release, one of her other personalities had taken full control and at that point she barely remembered my name, only bits and pieces of memories. In reality since technically that wasn't her anymore, the memories weren't hers, the feelings weren't hers or anything...I've been trying my best to be there for her regardless of what I feel, but its rough to say it lightly....I had a dream the other night where she remembered, came over and we both laid, cried, and remembered together than just before we kissed I woke up... With nothing but tears in my eyes....I still love that woman too death. Both of them as they are two sides of the same coin.
my ex broke up with me, she doesn't love me anymore. she said people change. and all i know is that i can only walk now with a broken heart. i know its not a long time. but three years where the best in my life. i had no better ups and downs when i woke up next to her. now i wake up alone only to hold myself and quietly hold my own tears. bottling it up from everyone else. and just trying to smile since i don't want to make anyone else worry. i still cant give up. and every day has been a nightmare. a long nightmare with no end. i miss her.... and i thought that i was going to make it t give her the ring... but i was much to late. 9 years of waiting. 3 with her... only to fall short by 3 months.....
Omg the riff in this song makes u cry omg john what emotion is put in this song and "do i have fall a sleep with roses in my hand", very very touchy line.....
Vanthangpuia Chhakchhuak one minute it's "I love you and I'll never let you go." Time passes by, and it becomes "I'm sorry, I have feelings for someone else."
Vanthangpuia Chhakchhuak they change bc they are there just not expressive for whatever reason but the people thw music the pain others feel i want to let everyone know thay life is precious hpld in to what you got morw than anything dint dwll peace is here
Different from the song's meaning - but this song was playing on the radio the year my daughter died --- really something to find it again. Tell you nothing breaks your heart quite like having to bury your child. That first verse kills me every time -- been living that for 12 years now.
love this song i can compare it to my sister, who just lost her newborn son and i know she feels exactly like this song explains...i just see her with a broken heart everyday now
When I hear this it brings me back to my grandmother passing I was her care giver and unfortunately watched the life leave her body she was my entire world and I cry everytime I hear this because it reminds me that I'll never get her back no matter how many roses I have.. 💔
I miss my soul he was killed and he's like a faded dream now and it's so hard to move on but the hardest part is letting go so I can remember I still have a life to live for my children and myself
Melanie Bailey maybe theres a chance he was misplaces and you will find it agian please believe fear is the worst scheme for those who love hard and aim to please
Some people are in your life for a season and some for a reason. Those there for a season always walk away, and there's never enough time to say goodbye.
love this song...Just recently lost my son March 11 2020...This makes me think of him...but also since Covid19...I imagine i feel like thinking of all we lost in the World...too...Peace.
I'm a huge John Mayer fan but I just found out about this song. It has now become my favorite along with Heartbreak Warfare. I don't know where I read this but someone once said that songs are better written with a broken heart... I fell in love with a girl who I've known for years. Our parents are great friends so they would always plan trips and both families would spend a lot of time together. I always felt something for her but I was so young I couldn't really describe those feelings, I simply ignored them and moved on. I now realize that I was in love... We studied at different high schools so we really didn't spend time together outside of the trips and when our families would get together. She always treated me nicely and she would tell me that she had few friends... I feel really bad that I never asked her out. I recently found out that she liked me all this time, all these years. I also liked her but I never told her... Now we live in different cities, we are now at different colleges. I saw her again recently but I really wish I didn't. Because now I can't stop thinking about her and I'm just so regretful. I regret everything and I regret that I never told her how I felt. Maybe we just weren't destined to be together... 💔 To all of those who are heartbroken (including myself) I'm sure we will be fine, it gets better 😃
Someone jokingly told me to listen to this song when I was going through a break up. When I finally did, I cried for 10 minutes straight and just curled up on my bed for the whole day. That was a terrible time.
This song really hits home. But in my case she never even fully loved me like I loved her. I was dreaming about something that was never real to begin with. Hurt like hell when I finally accepted the truth.
my sister is going to leave my house to study in university and only the thought of her not being with me for the biggest moments of my life and the worst moments of my life after years is too much for me. this song is the best way to explain it because we grew up listening to this song and other John Meyer songs but its truly heartbreaking to grow up and realize it applies to our sitution now.
He was my friend who become my crush. We both like john mayer like crazy, and sometimes we sing along. Now we take ourself path to reach our dreams. I won't to glorified it, but we are not just we used to be. Strange. It's like masochist everytime i heard john mayer's song.
For the past month this song has been my life. I let the love of my life go a little while ago, I thought I was giving her the chance to find someone better, someone that would give her kids, at least that's what I told myself. Literally the only reason I let her go, I wanted her to be as happy as possible. She died recently in a horrible car accident. She was perfect and loved me for all my faults, kept me in check whenever I was acting stuck up. She kept me humble. I let her go so she could find someone better than me. But she died before she got the chance to be a mom or find someone new. When I got the phone call I couldn't speak for over a day, the sheer cruelty of this was beyond what I thought possible. Turning my good intentions into a futile attempt at being the good guy, instead I should have just stuck around and made her last days as happy as possible. I couldn't bring myself to go to the funeral, because I knew I'd collapse from the pain in my heart, I'm barely keeping it together as is. One day I'll visit her grave, when I am ready to breakdown, either alone or with someone I trust enough to let see it happen. Honesty if I didn't have to wake up every day and go to work, go home and study right after, I'm not sure I'd be here right now. Nothing hurts like losing someone you love, and nothing can console us. I gave up pretending I'm happy around my family, I tell them I am okay but by no means put together. I think that is going to be my life for a long time. Time doesn't heal all, we just learn to live with the pain. Like my body my heart will remain scarred, but more so truly broken for the first time.
weve all felt this pain in our hearts we wake up thinking its never gonna happen again ill never find another one like her but the truth is we find someone better we find someone else who is as crazy about you as you are about her or him remember this even though you might not want to hear it but relationships are all about experience so that when you meet the women your going to marry you've been through enough. pain is only temporary but eventually it will subside you cant keep on thinking of her ik most of you can help it but the more you see her on instagram or facebook the more it hurts to see her happy with someone else but just know that were young we have a whole life a head of us all the relationships a head of us. find something that makes you happy, sing dance workout draw do something cause life isn't perfect there are only perfect moments an you have to think about the positives more then the negatives because a young adults in this world we all hold the key to success and its our job to figure out how to unlock it.
Such a beautiful song John Mayer. I would walk many a day at a Lake Mayer . Wondering if my broken heart would ever heal. Beautiful Lake. Keep the Faith
Everyone is here with broken hearts, meanwhile I'm here because I woke up with the sick chord progression in the chorus stuck in my head and had to satisfy my musical craving.
I was in love with my best friend. A week ago she decided our ten year friendship was over- because I’m depressed and didn’t want to use her ideas for improving my situation. She’s a part of my everyday life. Between breaths I dream that life is normal and I reach for the phone to message her, but she’s gone. My ribcage closes tighter around my lungs and I realize life isn’t ever going to be normal again. This is my story, one of many here, and this is our song.
This literally happened to me just two weeks ago and I'm on currently experiencing an emotional rollercoaster. Do you have any tips on how to cope and move on? How did you survive a year after this much pain?
I listen to this song so I can feel that pain because that's the only thing I still have from her, the only connection to those 5 years of my life, the only way I can prove it was real, and I am scared it will hurt less and less as time goes on.
anyone out there who's going to do some stuff right now, just want to let you know that you are loved and appreciated. I get in my feelings when I listen to the song and I lost the best thing that ever happened to me but there are always better beginnings. just remember that and always look forward to the future and you will always be a winner!
I sat until my mom died, by her side. Later, I heard this song and I can't listen without thinking of her while sheading a tear. But it's deeper. I can think of so many loves of my life and wonder if they ever remember what we had or if they even care too. Good song.
I think who ever dies of a broken heart. Really sincerely really loved that person. And the other one didn't give back at all. Or just didn't plan care about the other one at all. Or maybe two people who truly loved each other and one passed before the other one and just couldn't take the pain.
I lost my dad 9 years ago there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss him it breaks my heart not having him here with us he would have been 86 years old today rip my beautiful angel love you dad
The love of my life, partner, father of our 3 yo son passed May 6th 2018 (the day after my birthday too). And I miss him every single day, and expect him to walk through the door. My heart aches, especially for our son. And until recently, his loss and life without him felt like I was dreaming with a Broken heart, and waking was the hardest part because at least in my dreams he was present and felt real as if alive. After waking I realized the dream, and its been almost 5 months and I'm just now starting to lose that hazy cloud of pain and sorrow. This song resonates deep within my soul.
I keep torturing myself with sad songs after my 13 year old dog had to be put to rest 2 days ago. That little girl WAS my heart. I feel like she took it with her 😢💔 RIP Daisy, love of my life 9/7/21
I can't remember how many times I listened to this crying my eyes out thinking my life was over with a broken heart. Years later I can listen to this and have all those memories come back now married and with a beautiful son.. to anyone who thinks life is over, it's NOT! trust me
I'm glad it worked out for you... Wish I had that kind of faith...
Thank you. 🙏
Thanks man 😀
Hope things get better someday. Great story man! For now I’ll sit in my bed staring at the ceiling wondering what to do with my life….
Thanks! Took me years to get over the first love of my life. Eventually found a girl that was even better for me, thought we would get married and have kids... then she broke up with me. Back to square one. Gonna be a long painful journey again.
Is this a place for all the broken hearted? Count me in.
Do you think that this song connects with Shawn Mendes' three empty words?
:-(
🙌😓
Wanting Qu yep me too
what I'd find interesting, are u healed now? after more than one year?
I'm sending a prayer for everyone who is going through anything tough to get over without there other half beside them...
I just woke up and she's gone, as usual I still love her and miss her..
God please make this pain go away!!!!
I interpret the lyrics slighty diffrent. I lost my daughter in 2011 while deployed in Afghanistan and she's all i think about when i hear this. Due to the location and situation of my deployment i wasnt able to go to her funeral. Ive played it at her grave many times.
Not that any words could possibly matter, but I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for your service.
💔💔💔
Ditto what Rywolt519 says.
Damn.....I'm so sorry.
Omg 😔
I know a lot of people associate this song with lost loves and failed relationships, and so do I. I also think of my brother when I hear this song. This stems from me dreaming about him and when I woke up I was crying and humming this song. You see, I lost my brother to a motorcycle accident 7/31/2016. I talked to him the day before and was going to see him the day of. As I was preparing to go see him I got the heartbreaking phone call that he was involved in an accident and was pronounced dead at the scene. Since that day I have been lost without my best friend. When I dream of him my dreams may be of us enjoying time together, but my heart is always broken when I awake. I miss you Chase.
jamaicadarden 😢 i know how u feel. lost my bro last month and i can still hear his voice and i wait for his phone call. this one is hard to swallow but i know he is home with God. He died frm cancer. 💗
Hope you are doing good man. It gets better in time. Peace!
I know that feeling all to well
I get jealous when I hear people say they have good/close with their siblings. I'm very big on family, it's always been my nature. But unfortunately I don't have a close relationship with any of my siblings. My mindset is completely different. They're not really nice people. But it is what it is. I just stay on my own.
Same here love. I lost my sister to a car accident and this was one of our fav songs. Then almost 2 yrs later I lost my mom. So anytime I hear this song I cry.
This song makes me think of a TV show called The Game and on one of these episodes Derwin's gf Melanie left him for good and he was hurting like hell!
Kia boo GIRL YES 😭😭
That's how I know d song😅
That was how I discovered this song.
That is how I discovered this song, as well. Had to look it up & I LOVE it...
I miss my baby so much 😔
I was literally dreaming with a broken heart; I dreamed my ex took me back. At the moment it was the happiest feeling I've ever experienced in my life: I told her if you took me back, It would be the best thing that has ever happened to me! It seemed so real & hopeful... Then I woke up... "When you're dreaming with a broken heart, waking up is the hardest part."... "When you're dreaming with a broken heart, giving up is the hardest part."
Dylan Nelson i feel you
Same thing happened to me man. It hurts bad
😔😔😔😞
My mind played the same cruel trick on me😔😔😔😔, boy did it hurt when I woke up
Same here my dude. Life is a cruel bitch.
In 2013, I used to listened to this song at night and cry so bad. Thinking about a guy who I love so much but he didn't choose me...I was so heartbroken for 9 months.
Now I'm no longer heart broken. I'm a happy wife and a thankful mother ♥️ no longer able to feel the sadness of this song.
To all of you out there, if he/she didn't choose you, don't give up. Yes you can take all the time in the world to cry and heal. But never ever ruined your soul and body for somone who don't deserve your love.
One day, that one person will come to you and makes you feel it is all worth it.
'Good things fall apart so BETTER things can fall together'
Take care ❤️
Thanks Miss March... I needed that. ❤
Thanks! ❤ I was so heartbroken for 10 months over a guy who love bombed me and was able to easily replace me within a couple days after we stopped talking. Still healing...going on 11 months now but I'm feeling better...it doesn't hurt that much anymore...taking it one day at a time
If you've lived long enough...and I have...there is someone special who broke your heart. No matter how much time passes or how happy you are with someone else there are quiet moments when you stop and think...remember...wonder...
Couldn't have said it better myself ❤
Mom I feel exactly like this, I miss you soooo very much and a part of me is gone since you went home with God!!! Always loved and ne Momver forgotten!!! RIP
This kills me. The love of my life died may 20th 2013. 5 days after his 21st birthday. I have stayed up so many nights curled u0 in a ball crying, my heart breaking to pieces reminiscences of the times we had, and wishing for the time we never had.

+Brieana Chapman How sad but don't worry you will be happy again.
Bernardd Caperina
Kerrina Cruickshank hope you are ok now... hope we can talk sometime
I'm sorry for your loss
2020 and still dreaming with a broken heart..who else?
Me ... coz of corona virus
LOL but i am 🥺
Always, a broken heart cannot be healed.
2021..
youre too cute to be single😊
This made me cry hard. i'm not even trying but the tears just kept flowing.
Goddamn, nothing more painful and heavier or tortuous than heartbreak...especially from someone who had shown you how much they’ve loved you back at one point.
I havent heard this in a while and instant tears!! 😭
I lost my wife unexpectedly in 2020 due to a heart issue she was just 42. I often see her in my dreams as I sleep. I relate to this song in so many ways. Such as taking roses with me as I sleep to try to give them to her. I don’t think a day goes by that she doesn’t cross my mind at almost 3 years later. RIP Angela.
I am so truly sorry. My heart breaks for you. I have no words to make you feel better. Just know my heart goes out to you...🥺
My husband just left 11 months ago. Heaven is so lucky to have him. I’m hurting can’t shake it. Sorry for your pain
Let’s be honest, we’re all listening to this song for a reason...
It's a banger homie. Lol. Im happily married and all that but still a dope ass song.
My little sister passed away in her sleep last year in October 2017 and I was the one who found her while getting ready for work and...to see her just laying there so still was extremely devastating😔😢💔 my heart literally dropped out of my chest while falling to my knees in tears.... I wish I wasn’t the one who found her because now every time I close my eyes I relive that moment and it just kills me....how do you fix a broken 💔 when the person who broke it is gone forever 😧😥😔
So sorry for your loss
😢🙏
She is still with you.
Sorry man😭😭😭
Condolences 🙏
This song I played the day before my mom's heart attack. I played it for her. I miss her too much. I was diagnosed with PTSD and Complicated Grief. Please, offer love to your loved ones. You never know when it's too late. I love you all.
Im sorry for your loss and condition
I know your pain all too well.
My grandfather recently passed in December of old age and I can’t help but think of him when I hear this song. The night after his funeral I dreamt that I was a kid again, sitting in his lap, reading a book with him. I woke up sobbing. I miss him so much but I know he’s a lot better off wherever he is. Love you Poppy ♥️♥️
I'm just a broken down old cowboy, who loves good music, J.Mayer really blows me away with this song. Thank you so very much little lady !🤠
I Wonder if anyone Remembers this song was on The Game.... Classic.
Deaven Jarrett YES SIR 😩ISSA CLASSIC
I've been binge watching The Game on Netflix.
Yes when they broke up
Definitely remember this on the Game!
Yes! I hate that they took it off of there and put a different song in there.
omg..having a broken heart is the worst pain ever💔
But if you just listen to God then no, it does not. He always has just the thing for you.
I've had one for the past 9 years. Its killing me, literally.
I hate that my heart was broken by somebody that I genuinely was falling for. John Mayer is honestly my saving grace
I just suffered my first mature relationship breakup. This song really hits hard
I remember slowly waking up on the couch in my dorm room/apartment at [a university], to the sound of [her] fingers clicking away at my computer keyboard, faint scent of jasmine or lavender, sometimes her sweet voice would just spontaneously sing... I was in heaven. To slowly awaken to the ambient sensations of her presence was something I loved so much that I cannot adequately describe it. I absolutely loved her. Her mere presence was like a drug to me.
And I remember waking up after everyone was gone. Too slow and depressed to quickly pack up and leave like all the other students had. I took a few days. I needed a few days.
Years later, I heard a song by John Mayer called "Dreaming with a Broken Heart" and thought how well the song describes it.
I woke this morning with the lingering sense of her presence in my dream, where our hands touched. I remember looking at her fingers, and then into her eyes, and she drifted away.
It was more than 22 years ago.
the lyrics of this song really gives you the feels!
I fell in love with a woman, I had a tragic accident that required me to have reconstructive surgery on my knee. This woman I had barely been talking too for a month and a half maybe, dropped everything to take care of me. In that instance I truly knew what is like to love someone and to be loved by someone. About a month into my recovery she was arrested, well she has multiple personality disorder, the reason that is pertaining is because she was not getting her meds while incarcerated. I heard from her maybe twice in the time span of her incarceration. Come time for her release, one of her other personalities had taken full control and at that point she barely remembered my name, only bits and pieces of memories.

With nothing but tears in my eyes....I still love that woman too death. Both of them as they are two sides of the same coin.
my ex broke up with me, she doesn't love me anymore. she said people change. and all i know is that i can only walk now with a broken heart. i know its not a long time. but three years where the best in my life. i had no better ups and downs when i woke up next to her. now i wake up alone only to hold myself and quietly hold my own tears. bottling it up from everyone else. and just trying to smile since i don't want to make anyone else worry. i still cant give up. and every day has been a nightmare. a long nightmare with no end. i miss her.... and i thought that i was going to make it t give her the ring... but i was much to late. 9 years of waiting. 3 with her... only to fall short by 3 months.....
I know that pain, I'm sorry man.
Manuel Quintero hey.....how are you doing now man. it's been 7 months....I'm just curious. if you need a friend, someone to talk to I'm here
Time passed but the pain still stays.
hey, I've been doing better lately! thanks to some friends that I've known since i was little! and i really appreciate the offer!
love can hurt like nothing else man- hang in there... been there....
Omg the riff in this song makes u cry omg john what emotion is put in this song and "do i have fall a sleep with roses in my hand", very very touchy line.....
Its funny how affections change in the blink of an eye...
Vanthangpuia Chhakchhuak one minute it's "I love you and I'll never let you go." Time passes by, and it becomes "I'm sorry, I have feelings for someone else."

Different from the song's meaning - but this song was playing on the radio the year my daughter died --- really something to find it again. Tell you nothing breaks your heart quite like having to bury your child. That first verse kills me every time -- been living that for 12 years now.
love this song i can compare it to my sister, who just lost her newborn son and i know she feels exactly like this song explains...i just see her with a broken heart everyday now
Cindy Araiza sorry thats something i vouldnt imagine so sad
This song is sooo touchy 😩😩😍😢
When I hear this it brings me back to my grandmother passing I was her care giver and unfortunately watched the life leave her body she was my entire world and I cry everytime I hear this because it reminds me that I'll never get her back no matter how many roses I have.. 💔
It’s 2020 and I’m still dreaming with a broken heart..
bakit
This song takes me back to those innocent days. Thank God for good music.
I Absolutely Love This Song.... Really Hit's Home....
This song makes me feel so emotional and I've never even been in a relationship.
Me currently. Reading the comments while listening to this makes me more emotional
Believe me it will resonate with you even more once you've been through it.
Congratulations
🤣
I mean...Shawn knows whats upp👌
he is literally going to tattoo this lyrics
Gald to see people still have a taste in music...
I miss my soul he was killed and he's like a faded dream now and it's so hard to move on but the hardest part is letting go so I can remember I still have a life to live for my children and myself
Mm
Melanie Bailey maybe theres a chance he was misplaces and you will find it agian please believe fear is the worst scheme for those who love hard and aim to please
It's hard my fiancee recently was murdered in November and I'm stuck in a place where I can't move on but for our 7 month old son I have to
Hot summer days sitting on your forth floor balcony chilling and waving to all of the people coming off the beach.... my perfect day *sighs*
I remember watching Twitch and Kherington dance to this on sytycd. 💔He was my hip hop teacher when I was a kid. Great memories 🤍
I love this song so much 😍😀
When you're dreaming with a broken heart, living alive is the hardest part
Some people are in your life for a season and some for a reason. Those there for a season always walk away, and there's never enough time to say goodbye.
I love these types of chord progressions
I just lost my mom and this song breaks my heart :(
But. It is her you feel in these beautiful things.
So sorry for your loss💗
im so sorry
Hope you're fine. Take care and stay strong. :)
Lost both , mom been 10years since she passed , dad been 6 years and they’re gone gone gone ...dreaming with a broken heart in 2020#still
I heard this song for the first time yesterday morning. My dog died later that day. These words will haunt me forever.
im sorry, i love you. i hope youre doing ok
Shelly Musgrove im sorry to hear that its a hard thing to go through but you are not alone
I had adopted a stray pup, on 16th of August, this year...found out that she had been run over by a car, an hour ago.
Just seen him do this live and wow I’m lost for words, song hits hard.
love this song...Just recently lost my son March 11 2020...This makes me think of him...but also since Covid19...I imagine i feel like thinking of all we lost in
the World...too...Peace.
I'm a huge John Mayer fan but I just found out about this song. It has now become my favorite along with Heartbreak Warfare.
I don't know where I read this but someone once said that songs are better written with a broken heart...
I fell in love with a girl who I've known for years. Our parents are great friends so they would always plan trips and both families would spend a lot of time together. I always felt something for her but I was so young I couldn't really describe those feelings, I simply ignored them and moved on. I now realize that I was in love... We studied at different high schools so we really didn't spend time together outside of the trips and when our families would get together. She always treated me nicely and she would tell me that she had few friends... I feel really bad that I never asked her out. I recently found out that she liked me all this time, all these years. I also liked her but I never told her... Now we live in different cities, we are now at different colleges. I saw her again recently but I really wish I didn't. Because now I can't stop thinking about her and I'm just so regretful. I regret everything and I regret that I never told her how I felt. Maybe we just weren't destined to be together... 💔
To all of those who are heartbroken (including myself) I'm sure we will be fine, it gets better 😃
I just had a dream me and my ex were together again... then I came right to this song 😔
+Killi Dior how sad... same here. i dream about her and when I wake up tears fall down my cheek.
So hard... when you miss her so much but she dont even care... its hard when you are a romantic :(
Does anyone think that this song connects with Shawn Mendes' three empty words?
I feel you... same right now
Kaway sa mga pumunta dito dahil sa short film ni Cong!! 😂 Pawerrrr
Paawer ! 💔
Di ko lam title nito, kaya tinype ko yung lyrics at ito lumabas. Paawer ☝😀
HAHAHAHA PAWERRRRR !!!
Narelate ako d2 e hahaahahh
Yun oh! HAHAHA
Waking up in the morning and having to face the reality that she's gone is truly is the hardest part, the heartache and paralysis is numbingly painful
The fact it’s over 💔💔 but yet he still calls to say he love me. It’s beyond torture at this point❗️😔😔😔 my heart n little feelings can’t take it.
I lost the best thing that's ever happened to me all because I lied about something no one should never lie about.
I'm so sorry I lost a great person to she was my everything than I went to jail and lost it all
Humberto Cardoza been through a similar ordeal bro, the scars are still healing a year later
Same
What did you lie about
Someone jokingly told me to listen to this song when I was going through a break up. When I finally did, I cried for 10 minutes straight and just curled up on my bed for the whole day. That was a terrible time.
Shouldn't have 🤣
I fit in with this crowd
Mom... I Need You 💔
Im sorry for your loss
I swear.... Damn momma smh this shit hurt fr🌹💔
Damn that hurts 💔😭
A broken heart is such a strong thing! There's nothing so real or anything that's feels so good!
Who’s here because they have no love life, and is depressed because of it....?😔💔
Im too damn timid 😟
There are only some times they can tell you no before you start to think if your destined to be alone.
I’m here for John Mayer. But yes I’ve been there.
this song used to mean that to me untill my sister died
Yep..
This song really hits home. But in my case she never even fully loved me like I loved her. I was dreaming about something that was never real to begin with. Hurt like hell when I finally accepted the truth.
SALAMAT CONG! DAGDAG NANAMAN TO SA PLAYLIST KO HAHAHA!
no matter what happens
no matter where life take us
i will always love you
when you look back,i promise i never let u go
my sister is going to leave my house to study in university and only the thought of her not being with me for the biggest moments of my life and the worst moments of my life after years is too much for me. this song is the best way to explain it because we grew up listening to this song and other John Meyer songs but its truly heartbreaking to grow up and realize it applies to our sitution now.
I like to dedicate this song from John Mayer to the people who are suffering with COVID-19. 💐👏🏻
He was my friend who become my crush. We both like john mayer like crazy, and sometimes we sing along. Now we take ourself path to reach our dreams. I won't to glorified it, but we are not just we used to be. Strange. It's like masochist everytime i heard john mayer's song.
I lost the person I love most in this world. Hurts more than words can explain
For the past month this song has been my life. I let the love of my life go a little while ago, I thought I was giving her the chance to find someone better, someone that would give her kids, at least that's what I told myself. Literally the only reason I let her go, I wanted her to be as happy as possible. She died recently in a horrible car accident. She was perfect and loved me for all my faults, kept me in check whenever I was acting stuck up. She kept me humble. I let her go so she could find someone better than me. But she died before she got the chance to be a mom or find someone new. When I got the phone call I couldn't speak for over a day, the sheer cruelty of this was beyond what I thought possible. Turning my good intentions into a futile attempt at being the good guy, instead I should have just stuck around and made her last days as happy as possible. I couldn't bring myself to go to the funeral, because I knew I'd collapse from the pain in my heart, I'm barely keeping it together as is. One day I'll visit her grave, when I am ready to breakdown, either alone or with someone I trust enough to let see it happen. Honesty if I didn't have to wake up every day and go to work, go home and study right after, I'm not sure I'd be here right now. Nothing hurts like losing someone you love, and nothing can console us. I gave up pretending I'm happy around my family, I tell them I am okay but by no means put together. I think that is going to be my life for a long time. Time doesn't heal all, we just learn to live with the pain. Like my body my heart will remain scarred, but more so truly broken for the first time.
Thank you for this song. Last time heard it on a TV series called the game and they didn't want to release it cos of copyright.
We can do better!!! Stay strong everyone!
Hearing this puts tears in my eyes... Thats music man..
Cong tv brought me here hahahaha. Paawer 🤘🏼
Today i lost my little berry. This song brought me to tears . Iloveyou my little angel
2019 and still dreaming with a broken heart
weve all felt this pain in our hearts we wake up thinking its never gonna happen again ill never find another one like her but the truth is we find someone better we find someone else who is as crazy about you as you are about her or him remember this even though you might not want to hear it but relationships are all about experience so that when you meet the women your going to marry you've been through enough. pain is only temporary but eventually it will subside you cant keep on thinking of her ik most of you can help it but the more you see her on instagram or facebook the more it hurts to see her happy with someone else but just know that were young we have a whole life a head of us all the relationships a head of us. find something that makes you happy, sing dance workout draw do something cause life isn't perfect there are only perfect moments an you have to think about the positives more then the negatives because a young adults in this world we all hold the key to success and its our job to figure out how to unlock it.
Thank you
Such a beautiful song John Mayer. I would walk many a day at a Lake Mayer . Wondering if my broken heart would ever heal. Beautiful Lake. Keep the Faith
Everyone is here with broken hearts, meanwhile I'm here because I woke up with the sick chord progression in the chorus stuck in my head and had to satisfy my musical craving.
I was in love with my best friend.
A week ago she decided our ten year friendship was over- because I’m depressed and didn’t want to use her ideas for improving my situation.
She’s a part of my everyday life.
Between breaths I dream that life is normal and I reach for the phone to message her, but she’s gone. My ribcage closes tighter around my lungs and I realize life isn’t ever going to be normal again.
This is my story, one of many here, and this is our song.
readinghorse i hope everything turns out okay for you. Hang in there!
This literally happened to me just two weeks ago and I'm on currently experiencing an emotional rollercoaster. Do you have any tips on how to cope and move on? How did you survive a year after this much pain?
Cong thank you for letting us know this song
Short film ni cong brought me here again. ☹️
My girl left me 4 weeks ago... Since then I've been hearing this song it's addicting
Dave my love. Everydays a broken heart without you.
I listen to this song so I can feel that pain because that's the only thing I still have from her, the only connection to those 5 years of my life, the only way I can prove it was real, and I am scared it will hurt less and less as time goes on.
Short film ni cong tv!!! Paawer!!
Solid!!
This makes me think of the dreams I had when my grandparents died. I always had to clarify in my head if they really came back or if it was a dream.
My 7month pregnant wife died this Saturday And i remember this when i hear this I'm always crying It hurts losing a child and a wife in instant 😭
anyone out there who's going to do some stuff right now, just want to let you know that you are loved and appreciated. I get in my feelings when I listen to the song and I lost the best thing that ever happened to me but there are always better beginnings. just remember that and always look forward to the future and you will always be a winner!
this is so true... now i am so scared of sleeping just because i have to wake up 😭😭😭
Those piano high G notes at the beginning are pretty much like tear drops
I sat until my mom died, by her side. Later, I heard this song and I can't listen without thinking of her while sheading a tear. But it's deeper. I can think of so many loves of my life and wonder if they ever remember what we had or if they even care too. Good song.
I think who ever dies of a broken heart. Really sincerely really loved that person. And the other one didn't give back at all. Or just didn't plan care about the other one at all.
Or maybe two people who truly loved each other and one passed before the other one and just couldn't take the pain.
Beautiful
Love this song so much. Brought back memories ❤ #2020
Imo this is john's best song idk why it's not even in his top 10 most played on Spotify
Makes me think of my sister. She died last year 💔
Jennifer Gibb praying for you! Sorry to hear
Destini Coleman thank you 💓
I'm sorry for your loss.
Ozzie thank you
Jennifer Gibb sorry for your lost
I lost my dad 9 years ago there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss him it breaks my heart not having him here with us he would have been 86 years old today rip my beautiful angel love you dad
The love of my life, partner, father of our 3 yo son passed May 6th 2018 (the day after my birthday too). And I miss him every single day, and expect him to walk through the door. My heart aches, especially for our son. And until recently, his loss and life without him felt like I was dreaming with a Broken heart, and waking was the hardest part because at least in my dreams he was present and felt real as if alive. After waking I realized the dream, and its been almost 5 months and I'm just now starting to lose that hazy cloud of pain and sorrow. This song resonates deep within my soul.
I keep torturing myself with sad songs after my 13 year old dog had to be put to rest 2 days ago. That little girl WAS my heart. I feel like she took it with her 😢💔
RIP Daisy, love of my life 9/7/21
I really liked Kherington and Twitch's dance routine to this song on So you Think You Can Dance?
