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

Is this a place for all the broken hearted? Count me in.

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.

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!!!!

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...

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."

2020 and still dreaming with a broken heart..who else?

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.

Let’s be honest, we’re all listening to this song for a reason...

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 ❤️

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.

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!

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 Wonder if anyone Remembers this song was on The Game.... Classic.

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 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 😧😥😔

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.....

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

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 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 ♥️♥️

Its funny how affections change in the blink of an eye...

I hate that my heart was broken by somebody that I genuinely was falling for. John Mayer is honestly my saving grace

This made me cry hard. i'm not even trying but the tears just kept flowing.

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 havent heard this in a while and instant tears!! 😭

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.. 💔

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.

I mean...Shawn knows whats upp👌

When you're dreaming with a broken heart, living alive is the hardest part

Who’s here because they have no love life, and is depressed because of it....?😔💔

I just lost my mom and this song breaks my heart :(

It’s 2020 and I’m still dreaming with a broken heart..

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.

omg..having a broken heart is the worst pain ever💔

This song makes me feel so emotional and I've never even been in a relationship.

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 heard this song for the first time yesterday morning. My dog died later that day. These words will haunt me forever.

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.

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

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

I just had a dream me and my ex were together again... then I came right to this song 😔

This song is sooo touchy 😩😩😍😢

I lost the best thing that's ever happened to me all because I lied about something no one should never lie about.

the lyrics of this song really gives you the feels!

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 😃

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.....

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

This song takes me back to those innocent days. Thank God for good music.

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 fit in with this crowd

I Absolutely Love This Song.... Really Hit's Home....

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*

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.

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.

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.

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 love this song so much 😍😀

Kaway sa mga pumunta dito dahil sa short film ni Cong!! 😂 Pawerrrr

I love these types of chord progressions

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.

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.

Mom... I Need You 💔

Today i lost my little berry. This song brought me to tears . Iloveyou my little angel

We can do better!!! Stay strong everyone!

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.

this is so true... now i am so scared of sleeping just because i have to wake up 😭😭😭

Just seen him do this live and wow I’m lost for words, song hits hard.

I like to dedicate this song from John Mayer to the people who are suffering with COVID-19. 💐👏🏻

I lost the person I love most in this world. Hurts more than words can explain

My girl left me 4 weeks ago... Since then I've been hearing this song it's addicting

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

People affiliate this with relationships and I'm sitting here thinking about my dog

Short film ni cong brought me here again. ☹️

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 😭

I remember watching Twitch and Kherington dance to this on sytycd. 💔He was my hip hop teacher when I was a kid. Great memories 🤍

What I’ve learned is a broken heart is a broken heart, it might be over a significant other, a friend or family member it doesn’t matter. A broken heart is a broken heart .💔

Dave my love. Everydays a broken heart without you.

5 years with her... and she ends our engagement a few weeks from our wedding

Makes me think of my sister. She died last year 💔

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.

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

Yung nandito ka dahil kay Cong Tv 😂

I know this song since the album released, but this is the first time it feels so hearthbreaking. I just lost a girl who didn't ever said goodbye and didn't tell me what was the reason at all, she's just gone, gone, gone

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.

me and my ex broke up from a near four year relationship. i care for him greatly and decided to have a close friendship cause the bond cannot be thrown away. this song has been helping me cope but can't help but cry at the heartfelt moments.

That song got me thinking about my girlfriend that passed away i miss her so much i miss you baby

My ex left me during Christmas 2012 after 13 years together. But the worst part was she took our 3 year old daughter with her. Right afterwards and for a couple years after, I would dream about seeing my daughter. But every night that dream would turn into a nightmare when somehow in my dream she would be stolen away from me or kidnapped. I’d wake up and have to wipe tears from my eyes. I’d be so happy that it was all just a dream. The haze of waking up would let me forget the truth. Then I’d start processing my reality only to realize, my nightmare was also my real life tragedy. I ended up having a nervous breakdown and got diagnosed with PTSD. My ex finally brought her back apologizing and promising she’d never do it again. But she did. Now nearly 10 years later, her and my daughter live out-of-state and I don’t get to see my daughter much but about 3 weeks per year. But my daughter has her mom in her ear and has been poisoned against me. So she doesn’t want to see me or talk on the phone. I don’t know how to be happy all alone but I’m trying really hard to find a way. Some losses leave you forever incomplete.

My wife left me in the summer of 2010. I dreamed she was standing at the top of stairs leading up to our bedroom. I immediately sat up in happiness to realize it was just a dream. I literally slid out of bed onto my knees and buried my face in the bed and cried my eyes out. It might have been the worst moment in my life. But my daughters and i got through it. Now we are great friends again. It was just the most painful moment in my life. I will never forget that night. People who are going through this, you will get better...

Cong tv brought me here hahahaha. Paawer 🤘🏼

Sino nandito dahil sa shortfilm ni chong tv?

My wife of 18 years recently left me unexpectedly. When I’m awake I’m living a nightmare and when I dream I escape it. When I wake up, reality and torment kicks in.

This is the saddest song I’ve ever listened to

If there was a song to epitomize my love life, it has to be this. Only 19, yet so many people have rejected me as if I was some sort of mystic plague. Every flipping girl I fell for I gave so much in effort, the best of what I had to offer, just to hope she would accept me. Yet no, no one ever thought I was good for them. The more I've thought about it, it pains me to even think about. Countless nights where I was with my crush, happily holding hands and sharing a kiss. Only to wake up and realize I was still alone. It's more difficult to move on, as I can only imagine what horror lies behind the next door. Anyone can relate? I'm certain at least someone does.

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 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 was doing an essay for med school and was almost finished then the computer crashed and i didn't save and when i restarted the computer i had to start over and this song came to mind :(

I prayed for her happiness not knowing she would find it with someone else. Im glad she is happy but now it's time to pray for my own

2019 and still dreaming with a broken heart
