"I know some day you'll have a beautiful life..."

That part makes me cry. Because someone I loved just left me, and I know she's already gotten over me, but I'll never get over her.

[sabreyow]

@catt0009 im still not over mine from 15 years ago..lol,sigh..the last thing i said to her was when you hear black,think of me...

[swatmarksman61995]

@fresh2deathxx96 although this is a good band, however pink Floyd, led zepplin, CCR, Steven ray, Jim hendrix, etc, now THAT is real music!

[sabreyow]

@swatmarksman61995 in your opinion..i personally like the beatles,pearl jam,doors,jimi,etc..

[ilybilliejoe]

The first time I heard this, I was in the car with my mom. She told me some of the lyrics and I started crying.

She said she listened to it all the time when her and my dad divorced. She didn't know what to do, or who she was anymore.

Heartbreak's the worse </3

My mom went into a coma 2/27/2011, one day prior to her 19th anniversary, and died 4/7/2011. When ever I hear this song it makes me sad and think about her.

best song of all time no other song beats this hands down

[Methbuster167]

@MikeSL95 it depends on your musical taste. but i agree 50 percent. i love this song. it brings back memories. but if i wasnt missing my ex, id probably be listening to cannibal corpse or kataklysm. other than that, i love this song. almost as much as i love her

[desioday]

sad its about him and his wife

[LacieBeningborough]

awesome song



[1malzahar]

They do tend to drag the song out, but what a geat song!
