I bawled. I won't lie. That one lyric.. " just a junkyard Romeo, Fallin down like he always does, wondering how he got so good at being bad at love" hits me really hard. I have tried and fallen so many times. Given so little.. and given my all. I always fall.. but I'm the man that bring flowers, I'm the man that rubs feet after a hard day's work. I'm the man that let's you vent at the end of the day with an attentive ear and whatever advice I can offer. I'm a romantic Romeo. Turned junkyard.. and always wondering why I do all these things to be a good man for a woman..just to fail and have to find myself.. over and over and over.

Coolest guy and band. Got to go on their tour bus in Phoenix before a show and have beers with them. They made us feel like friends and family. So down to earth. Fan for life.

I love this song 💜 Its so pretty, Shinedown/Smith & Myers just continues to get better and better 💜💜💜🤗🤗

Well done boys. My 5 year old daughter is becoming a Smith & Meyers super fan!

Love This. When you stop trying, love will find you but by then you may not want it . Lots of artist I believe sabotage themself in fear of losing themselves to love. Alone you know exactly who you are & are free to be who you are. Once you begin to be there for someone they expect it and you end up spending so much time being there for them that you never have time for yourself And the things that make you who you are fade into the background of maybe I'll have time tomorrow And when you finally get the time its usually after a break up & you have to find yourself all over again.Love shouldn't take away from your life It should enhance it. If someone's always criticizing you or make you feel inadequate then they dont deserve you. You deserve more then that. Which I'm sure you already know. Awesome song.Shine On my friend.

If I had to choose just 1 song to listen to for the rest of my life... Hands down this would be it!

This song makes me super emotional. It's relatable in the most heart breaking way, I love it!

Smith and Myers pulling a Hobbs and Shaw on us and we're for it

"Truth is you know your better without me and truth is we both know your right". Even if we both know your right what have we been doing for 15 yrs now? I choose to be with you because i love you good times and bad your still my world. One look in your eyes i forget everything around me. I will always choose you. I dont know any other way.

Love this!! Sounds really good. Brent sounds like he also needs a hug... I volunteer. 😁😘

He sure did clean up nice. Been listening to shinedown since inception, he tells stories, i kno them all and never disappoints.

I have been listening to these guys since they first got together. I saw them live and was lucky enough to work security at the venue. After listening to Brent warm up I've always hoped for something like this! This man is one of the most UNDERRATED voices of our generation. I love this type of stripped down pure music! Kept it up guys!

I can only say if someone has a problem with the way Brent loves , it’s them , not him . Nobody can write and perform like he does without knowing how to open his heart . That’s where this music comes from . I’ve seen him in concert a few times and you get shivers down your spine. If this is about Brent and he reads this , you have the hearts of so many in your hand. Never ever change to please someone else , you are absolutely brilliant just as you are ❤️
