I genuinely don't think people understand the simplistic brilliance in John Mayer's music. He isn't just a phenomenal guitar player/singer. He's seriously one of the most poetically intricate songwriters in generations. He's up there with the greats. Unfortunately, it'll probably take a long time for people to really appreciate that about him.
I’ve listened to this song for years and always wondered who the female voice was. LITERALLY HOW HAVE I NEVER RECOGNISED TAYLOR’S VOICE?! They sound so amazing together
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been Then you come on crashing in Like the realest thing Tried my best to understand All that your love can bring Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you That I can't keep loving you With half of my heart I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else Made a plan, stayed the man who can only love himself Lonely was the song I sang 'Til the day you came Showing me another way And all that my love can bring Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you That I can't keep loving you With half of my heart With half of my heart Your faith is strong But I can only fall short for so long Down the road later on You will hate that I never gave more to you Than half of my heart But I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you With half of my Half of my heart Half of my heart Half of my heart's got a real good imagination Half of my heart's got you Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you That half of my heart won't do Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding To a bride with a paper ring And half of my heart is the part of a man Who's never truly loved anything Half of my heart
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
agreed, this is such an underrated collaboration with Taylor, her voice sounds amazing when it comes in with his... I'd be honored if some old-school John Mayer fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
For me, this song says I'm reserved, and I'm keeping myself from commmitting all my love to just one person. Half of me loves you, the other half is afraid to tell you "I love you". Which is very interesting, because that's where a lot of us are at..Afraid to commit completely..stuck at the threshold of "I can't go back..yet I'm too afraid to go forward".
"Your faith is strong, but I can only hold on for so long. Later on, down the road, you will hate that I never gave more to you..." truer words were never spoken
@@moonlightgoddess7946 he is a true artist and one of the greatest ever. You can see his live performance on youtube. For example you can search "Free Fallin" Live cover by john mayer
Sure like that will ever happen lol. If only he wasn't an abusive asshole to her when he was 13 years older to her. In fact, around the same time as this song was released!
@@vaibhavirastogi4452 wait…you know them personally and know exactly what went on in their private relationship that we only have vague, cryptic lyrics from an image obsessed, mentally unstable, victim playing narcissist to go off of? Please enlighten me more!
The most difficult aspect of love is being willing to give your everything, your heart and soul, your weaknesses and sensitivities, and your trust and devotion. When you give all those to another person and it doesn't turn into the fairy tale ending we thought it would become. It is devastating. But we can always open our hearts anew and let love in!
"And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything" Deep words. Any man can relate to this after facing their first heartbreak. As a man I think the first time you love cannot be replicated. "Down the road later on you will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart" Again, more deep words. You can love again but not like the first time. John Mayer is the goat.
It sucks to think that you cant love someone as much as the first time, but maybe the first time you just loved them way more than you should have, and thats why it hurt so bad
Its a song about someone who is screwed up from his past. Hence "I was born in the arms of imaginary friends" and "I was made to believe that Id never love somebody else" Meaning, he did not have anyone to count on or to love him and in fact he was brought up to believe that love wasn't meant for him. He wasn't taught to love so he doesn't know how and too afraid to take that chance. He does the woman a favour by walking away. Who the hell wants someone who is only capable of loving with half of their heart. Sad song actually.
I am like john mayer when it comes to relationship. I have never learned to love someone from all my heart. but my half of heart gets attached too soon.
@Johnmayer28 I listened yesterday to the Key of A on Cbc radio...I also like listening to guitar music from guitar magazines.....have you checked out any recently?? It is a lot of fun!!
This is my 1st time watching John Mayer’s video of his mega-hit. He is a natural: unpretentious, honest, poignant - & mesmerizing! I am singing it now. Thanks, John. 👌🎼❤️
Precisely why I can't listen to alot of his music anymore. It's for sensitive fuck Bois . Even though the music is beautiful and writing is great, the subject of especially this song is seems so juvenile after I fell in love with someone with my whole heart.
This song still gets me in my feels, all subtle little guitar licks but the lyrics damn.... Half of my heart is the part of a man whos never truly loved anything..
same here i hope that one day they can make up and that thier fanbases can make up and then maybe we get them in more songs together but thats only if they want to do that ofc
This is an awesome JM song because it captures the feeling of not being completely in love with someone. That's a pretty tough space for both people. The 'half-heart-loved' person feels that. Even if they accept it, it's not a good feeling to live with. The 'half-heart-lover' person feels guilty for not being able to fully commit to the other person. I was glad to see the lover person cross over and do the right thing. John chose to write him that way, reflecting himself, a true Master, the Man and the King ❣🌟💎👑
This song is super underrated. I forgot about this song for years and it finally came back now that I’m in a relationship and it’s what reminded me that this song existed. It also helped that I play guitar and wanted to learn this song and I’m glad I did since it’s such a fun song to play and sing!!

I used to played this song at home when i'm in semester break in hometown back to 2010/2011 and my mom said it's a nice song. Ever since that moment i always remember my mom everytime i play this song. She passed away in 2019 after battling breast cancer for three years. 🖤🖤 Bulukumba, ID. Sun, Aug 21st 2022.
As someone who never went past that dating stage, this song resonates with me so much. Wonder if I will ever feel genuine romantic love that will make me take that risk.
I listened to this song when i was 17, thinking it was so beautiful and not understanding the meaning. Now at 21, I finally understand because this is what just happened to me. He couldn't do it. Its now the saddest song I've ever heard..
This song makes me fall in love with the version of myself that exists deep down! The one that I don't want to be... The one that is suppressed... The one that shouldn't come up... The one that is forbidden... The one that is an abomination... The one that is real... The one that is hated and resented.... This song makes me fall in love with the most hated version of myself... ❤✨
You gave me your whole heart John, and we made a plan. Both of our hearts live for music, which is our purpose and passion. If you ever gave me a note like that, they would have found it and you would not be alive now! All hearts together now!
When first heard this song about a decade ago, I thought I can relate to it temporarily, because I was just young. Now, I really can relate to it and It's been a part of who I am. I am in a relationship for 4 years now and I still don't have plans for settling down even we are already stable and in the right age.
Long were the nights when my Days once revolved around you Counting my footsteps Praying the floor won't fall through, again My mother accused me of losing my mind, but I swore I was fine You paint me blue sky Then go back and turn it to rain And I lived in your chess game But you changed the rules every day Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone Tonight Well, I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why Dear John I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home I should've known Well, maybe it's me And my blind optimism to blame Or maybe it's you and your sick need To give love then take it away And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors Who don't understand And I'll look back and regret I ignored when they said, "Run as fast as you can" Dear John I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home Dear John I see it all now, it was wrong Don't you think nineteen's Too young to be played by your dark, twisted games? When I loved you so I should've known You are an expert at sorry And keeping lines blurry Never impressed by me acing your tests All the girls that you've run dry Have tired, lifeless eyes 'cause you burned them out But I took your matches before fire could catch me So don't look now I'm shining like fireworks Over your sad empty town Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Dear John I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress wrote you a song You should've known You should've known Don't you think I was too young? You should've known
“If I ever get around to living I'm gonna put my things away In the drawers and in the closets And there I'll stay, stay If I ever get around to living It'll be just like I dreamed I'm gonna take the love I'm given And set it free, free If I ever get around to living I'll take the end of every day Tie it up to every morning And sail away, away Free Free Maybe it's all a dream I'm having at seventeen I don't have tattoos And very soon Mother will be calling me Saying "come up stairs, You got some work to do" When you gonna wise up, boy? When you gonna wise up, boy? When you gonna wise up, boy? When you gonna wise up, boy? You are hiding in your mind Working all the time Trying to make it better than you got it You been spending all your time Searching for a sign That's never gonna look the way you want it I think you better wise up, boy I think you better wise up, boy I think you better wise up, boy I think you better wise up, boy” - John Mayer P.S. 27 days until John’s tour starts and I’m going to one of the concerts 🎶

This song makes me think of my ex boyfriend. It wasn't that he couldn't completely give his heart away, but that he already had. His ex wife still had his heart in a way that I never could. He broke up with me because he couldn't fully commit his heart to me and thought I deserved better. I think about him all the time. It's hard.
this song used to remind me of my very first love. I knew he didn't feel the same way as me and I would stay up late and listen to this song and cry because I knew he didn't love me 100% but I couldn't let him go. he ended up leaving me, and it was hard. took over a good year and half to move on. 2 years after he left, he comes back into my life and says he knew the minute he left that he had made a mistake. Long story short, it took me 1 full year to forgive him and now we've been together for a year. But when I hear this song, it reminds me of how I felt and I get sad just thinking about those times.
Why this version sounds 10 times better than the one in spotify? In this one you can appreciate better the chorus in the verse, the electric guitar and the arpeggios. Also, John's voice sounds way clearer.
What an amazing talent. By far not recognized for his masterful skills. Man, if the walls could tell stories about this guy! Love his music, love his look, love his lackadaisical attitude.

This is one of the most amazing and lovely songs ever and it's my favorite song by John Mayer too. It's so amazing, love the lyrics! #feelings
@@CarmenRosaMarisolZoila You may be right. I myself have been in Hollywood as well as in Psychology and I sincerely think that there is a fine line between art and delusion.
everytime i listen to this song i start crying thinking about my own relationship... its fits so good.. only: "half of my heart is the part of the man who never truly loved anything" would be: "and half of my heart is the part of the man who never truly loved anything else" :'{
I had never heard this song before last week. I started a new job that has this playing in their mix on the radio and I loved it after hearing just one time
Eric Clapton on John Mayer, ‘I’m not even sure john knows just how good he is’ 🙏
best left that way. artists are best to just let to write and let it come through with out thinking about it.
john mayer grew up whear i grew up Counnicute hartford im from nugatuck CT . his lyics sounds like something like what Mccartney or Lennon
I genuinely don't think people understand the simplistic brilliance in John Mayer's music. He isn't just a phenomenal guitar player/singer. He's seriously one of the most poetically intricate songwriters in generations. He's up there with the greats. Unfortunately, it'll probably take a long time for people to really appreciate that about him.

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come on crashing in
Like the realest thing
Tried my best to understand
All that your love can bring
Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
With half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
Made a plan, stayed the man who can only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang
'Til the day you came
Showing me another way
And all that my love can bring
Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
With half of my heart
With half of my heart
Your faith is strong
But I can only fall short for so long
Down the road later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you
Than half of my heart
But I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
With half of my
Half of my heart
Half of my heart
Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Half of my heart's got you
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding
To a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man
Who's never truly loved anything
Half of my heart

@Sounak Deb
I feel like this was definitely a warning sign about their breakup. By the lyrics, he's not fully involved in the relationship, only halfway.
Or maybe it was the fact that Taylor was a still a teenager and John was a 32 yr old when they dated?
@@stephaniepearce1737 OR maybe not because this song was made before they even dated

He wrote this song when he was dating Jennifer Aniston. It's not about Taylor.
He met Taylor so she could sing on this song.
They sound amazing together tbf
I think Taylor and John Mayer is a perfect match for their songwriting skills! I miss this song.. Love hearing their voices in one song.

This song is super underrated. I forgot about this song for years and it finally came back now that I’m in a relationship and it’s what reminded me that this song existed. It also helped that I play guitar and wanted to learn this song and I’m glad I did since it’s such a fun song to play and sing!!

John Mayer - Half of My Heart
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
Oh, with half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang, 'till the day you came
Showing me a another way and all that my love can bring
Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
Oh, with half of my heart
With half of my heart
Your faith is strong
But I can only fall short for so long
Down the road, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
But I can't stop loving you
(I can't stop loving you)
I can't stop loving you
(I can't stop loving you)
I can't stop loving you with half of my
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart
Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Half of my heart's got you
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding
To a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man
Who's never truly loved anything
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart
I'm just gonna put it here so we can sing along.
I used to played this song at home when i'm in semester break in hometown back to 2010/2011 and my mom said it's a nice song. Ever since that moment i always remember my mom everytime i play this song. She passed away in 2019 after battling breast cancer for three years. 🖤🖤

After 9 years, this song is still my favorite song of him!
*2019 ANYONE LISTENING WITH ME?*
Jackie Dyan Arao Alcera um yes-
Me from 🇮🇩
Here i am! This is me!
Jackie Dyan Arao Alcera yupp with u🙌🏻
Me...me...me...pick me
I love how the note at 2:43 said ”I can’t stop loving you”
this video is john's best look, he's so handsome here
This one AND still feel like your man
He's gorgeous, isn't he?
And Who says? 😍
Says quite a lot about his character. His best look is reserved for a groom that won't receive a bride through his own devices
@@clarksjoint768 Well, I think all of his looks are his best looks - the man just can't look bad.
This guy is just out of this world guitarist and a musical genius. I love love his music!
John Mayer's songs are so relatable.
Adrian Paul true
true
Hot!
It's not nice to love with only half of your heart, people will never understand it...
some of us do it coz... we're scared to surrender 100%
= /
+Heloisa Adhmann To be fair it is a LOT of your heart. If you love someone with all your heart what about everyone else? They get none I suppose?
This comment and all of the replies are amazing. I love you all :). Thank you.
what your number ?
Haven't heard this song in many years. These are some real honest lyrics when you really listen to them.
So many talents in one package….John Mayer
Even John's more commercial or 'pop' songs have a deep meaning … such a great song writer.
Ugh this song hurts my heart but brings joy at the same time 😢❤
Big same ❤
I wish this song was ten times longer. Heard it in a hotel last night and I can't stop listening to it.
Just discovered this song yesterday and I wanted to listen to it again..
As someone who never went past that dating stage, this song resonates with me so much. Wonder if I will ever feel genuine romantic love that will make me take that risk.
I listened to this song when i was 17, thinking it was so beautiful and not understanding the meaning. Now at 21, I finally understand because this is what just happened to me. He couldn't do it. Its now the saddest song I've ever heard..
keep moving and don't stop you'll always find the one you are destined for hence the quick clues as to finding out who wont..
take care.
we need time space and so much metaphysics we cant even begin to understando , so my consejo is just be without leaving a footprint
This song makes me fall in love with the version of myself that exists deep down! The one that I don't want to be... The one that is suppressed... The one that shouldn't come up... The one that is forbidden... The one that is an abomination... The one that is real... The one that is hated and resented.... This song makes me fall in love with the most hated version of myself... ❤✨
I like your writing. I hope that version sings.
@@sirchessicI’m cringing reading it personally. “You don’t want to wake the beast inside” vibes
The man you say can only love himself... Loves you more than you can comprehend!
Five years and still obsessed with this.
John is simply good at everything he's doing. Still listening in July 2020 for having good vibes!
Music is stellar.
Argentina 👏👍🇦🇷🖐️
YASSSSSSS
Linda música
Yeah me too .. just a voice you have to listen to
Is Taylor swift singing in the background? Because I see no mention but I do recognise her voice
this was before the time when ft tag became mainstream....
@@MegaRockandroll09 Taylor had the ft at the time in her song breath and all the other person did was what Taylor did here backing vocals
You gave me your whole heart John, and we made a plan. Both of our hearts live for music, which is our purpose and passion. If you ever gave me a note like that, they would have found it and you would not be alive now! All hearts together now!
When first heard this song about a decade ago, I thought I can relate to it temporarily, because I was just young. Now, I really can relate to it and It's been a part of who I am. I am in a relationship for 4 years now and I still don't have plans for settling down even we are already stable and in the right age.
6 years and still one of my favorite songs
Me too.
This guy doesn't age! Enjoy new beginning guys in the 2020 ! Hope everyone have a wonderful day :D
Maybe if Taylor and John didn’t already break up when this song got its music video we would’ve had a video with both of them...I would’ve died
yeaa. i know!
I was wondering if that was her. I couldn’t see or say who the female singer is.
@@taotaotoad yup it's her! they sang it together at Jingle Ball and she's credited in the album
You know she woulda been wearing a dress of some kind.
@@Smoove_J probably. And maybe it would've been a story centered mv, who knows
Long were the nights when my
Days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps
Praying the floor won't fall through, again
My mother accused me of losing my mind, but I swore
I was fine
You paint me blue sky
Then go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight
Well, I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why
Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should've known
Well, maybe it's me
And my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it's you and your sick need
To give love then take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors
Who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret
I ignored when they said, "Run as fast as you can"
Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Dear John
I see it all now, it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's
Too young to be played by your dark, twisted games?
When I loved you so
I should've known
You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry
Have tired, lifeless eyes 'cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should've known
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known
“If I ever get around to living
I'm gonna put my things away
In the drawers and in the closets
And there I'll stay, stay
If I ever get around to living
It'll be just like I dreamed
I'm gonna take the love I'm given
And set it free, free
If I ever get around to living
I'll take the end of every day
Tie it up to every morning
And sail away, away
Free
Free
Maybe it's all a dream
I'm having at seventeen
I don't have tattoos
And very soon
Mother will be calling me
Saying "come up stairs,
You got some work to do"
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
You are hiding in your mind
Working all the time
Trying to make it better than you got it
You been spending all your time
Searching for a sign
That's never gonna look the way you want it
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy”
- John Mayer
P.S. 27 days until John’s tour starts and I’m going to one of the concerts 🎶
he looks like the child of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom
Are you sure you're not talking about Jack White?
i think he looks like john mayer
@@22imon i do too
He was born the same year with Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry have a type 😂😂

His energy is so healing!!! I love John 💘
My favorite John Mayer song of all time ♥
John Mayer, you put the words into lyrics I can't find. Thank you
I listen to this song and see the tremendous change of life from back then to now and I can't help but cry 😢
Doesn't fix it though... Stay strong
I saw John Mayer in 2002 after the release of Room for Squares and it was my first concert ever. Absolutely a core memory 🔥
This hits extra hard after your hearts been broke and the one thing that could fix it is having what you lost
Foreal
exactly

I feel like it would be a sweeter message if he can’t love her completely because the other half of their love is for their child
This song makes me think of my ex boyfriend. It wasn't that he couldn't completely give his heart away, but that he already had. His ex wife still had his heart in a way that I never could. He broke up with me because he couldn't fully commit his heart to me and thought I deserved better. I think about him all the time. It's hard.
+tallmusicgirl14 I'm soo sorry. I know how that feels. i know this is cliche but it does get better. Be strong.
+Ren Arrow thank you :)
this song used to remind me of my very first love. I knew he didn't feel the same way as me and I would stay up late and listen to this song and cry because I knew he didn't love me 100% but I couldn't let him go. he ended up leaving me, and it was hard. took over a good year and half to move on. 2 years after he left, he comes back into my life and says he knew the minute he left that he had made a mistake. Long story short, it took me 1 full year to forgive him and now we've been together for a year. But when I hear this song, it reminds me of how I felt and I get sad just thinking about those times.
+Gabriella Alyaire I'm so glad it worked out for you!!!
You make me cry. Im sorry
I genuinely believe that John Mayer is so talented playing the guitar and the beats and the vocals he provides he knows how to rock the show.
why is this son sooooo underrated ?
Because nowdays is more important to sing about sex, drugs and good bodies :). Such a shame...
+Ashia Nowadays*
Ashia xactly. every one is fake
Who says its underrated?
22 million views isn't underrated
Half of my heart is a part of a man whos never truly loved anything.
Why this version sounds 10 times better than the one in spotify? In this one you can appreciate better the chorus in the verse, the electric guitar and the arpeggios. Also, John's voice sounds way clearer.
What an amazing talent. By far not recognized for his masterful skills. Man, if the walls could tell stories about this guy! Love his music, love his look, love his lackadaisical attitude.
This is one of the most amazing and lovely songs ever and it's my favorite song by John Mayer too. It's so amazing, love the lyrics! #feelings
I want Him and Taylor to collaborate again badly! They're are two of my most favourite artists!! ❤️❤️❤️
well they dated when she was 19 and he emotionally abused her so
Taylor Swift's vocals just MAKE this song. I'll bet that he'll never forget what he had with her...
I honestly don’t believe there was any kind of a relationship. I think Taylor imagined it all and then got angry
@@CarmenRosaMarisolZoila You may be right. I myself have been in Hollywood as well as in Psychology and I sincerely think that there is a fine line between art and delusion.
This is such a distinct version of this song from the album version. Both the acoustic and Taylor are way louder in this mix.
Love this song!!
Hello Rhonda how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
half of my heart is the part of a man whos never truly loved anything, damn.
everytime i listen to this song i start crying thinking about my own relationship... its fits so good.. only: "half of my heart is the part of the man who never truly loved anything" would be: "and half of my heart is the part of the man who never truly loved anything else" :'{
This song plays on my mind when ever I have down time
Can't believe its been a decade!
Still in love with this song.
Always loved this song.
In love with the song and the lyrics!
Yeah that's me running away like a sin. Best tune. John is a wonderful musician, he rocks
Yah this song is like one of my favorite of all time.
Lyrics on point
The voice on point
Totally love ,love,love the song.
Akai gona iyi.
This song will always be a banger... 2022 and it still hits different than most recent songs🖤🖤
I had never heard this song before last week. I started a new job that has this playing in their mix on the radio and I loved it after hearing just one time
Yep, the best reminds me of 2011
the man
Totally agree!!!
Especially after midnights…I mean, just listen to the words! He knew what he was doing 😠
