The song is a ballad, one of
Aerosmith 's more emotional ones. It is also lengthy, running just over six minutes. The lyrics focus on a heartbroken man who feels very sad and emotionally damaged ("I got dust for tears and I'm all tapped out") by a failed relationship ("tell me how it feels to be the one who turns the knife inside of me") and feels that there's a void in his life that cannot be filled ("there's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever").In Concert
In concert,
Steven Tyler has been known to substitute some lines with racier lyrics. On a live version of the song from the "A Little South of Sanity " album, Steven Tyler sings "I fuck with my boots on cause you fuck with my head" instead of the studio version lyrics "I sleep with my boots on, but you're still in my head."The band played the song heavily on their lengthy Nine Lives Tour from 1997-1999, but has almost never played it since.
