I'm a 50 year old dad of two daughters. Married 26 years! Retired police officer in Ohio, as of a month ago. This song is deep. There's not a true man on this planet who won't shed a tear listening. Men don't care about race or what you're religion is. We just get shit done because nobody else will. That's what this world is missing, real men. Thank you for this song!

Former Marine, single dad to my son since he was two, now 11. I’ve isolated myself from friends and family for no reason it seems. My son is the only reason why I’m alive. Depression with loneliness is my devil! I sat alone and listened to these words over and over again. I don’t think I’ve ever cried this hard. Knowing that I’m not alone, and that other men feel this pain will help me seek help. I don’t write reviews nor do I comment on videos, so to take the courage to express a little bit about myself and my pain shows just how impactful this song is. Thank you! You saved me ❤

“Don’t forget Jesus wept and brother so can you,” brought tears to my eye.

I work in the oil field and have a wife and 4 kids i dont see for 28 days.. and than im only home for 14 days... And i miss them so much. This song lets me let all my pain out.. Thank you to all the artist on this track.. i miss my family. But i have to be here for them. My kids grow up without me and i just hope they know i wanted to be there more than i was..

I'm retired Navy and suffer from PTSD, and Sucidal Depression. I don't talk about my service cause of this. I'm only alive cause of my kids and my family. This song is awesome and helps a lot. Thank you. God bless

As a woman, this song breaks my heart. The pressures of being a man and having to be strong when ur dying on the inside and feeling like there's no where to turn or no one to talk to. You men are expected to be strong all the time and fix lifes problems All while struggling to beat that beast inside that's trying to beat u down. Just know i appreciate all of you men on all walks of the world. Just know ur mot alone.

I know this may not be viewed by you or many. But as a father, I want my son to understand that being a man is about standing for something bigger than yourself. No amount of money, cars, or Fake friends will measure what you can bring to this world without a sense of honesty and humility. To all the fathers, sons, husbands, and real men who see this, keep standing for what is right.

My dad cries when he's happy he cries when he is sad . He cried when he was diagnosed with stage 4 brain AND lung cancer and they said he would not live to see the end of that year. He cried in church on Sunday when he thanked God for being his rock through it all and was told he is cancer free . I cried because I am a daddy's girl and he is the first man I ever loved and he is still my hero. Men cry. And that's part of what makes you human and it's part of what makes you strong. Don't give up to any of you that think no one sees you. God sees you and you are loved and needed❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

I haven't had the emotions this song produced in me in forever. Been through 2 combat tours, lost a daughter, married 22yrs. This song hits different. Thank you! It says what I can't say. Been suicidal before, got help, found the Lord and was born again, now a minister to those in prisons. I listen to this often now. Thank you Dax and all

Song lyrics - [Dax:] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [Atlus:] Too much pressure on my shoulders, it gets tough to be The person bringing in the bread and be the lover that you need For self-care, yeah I had to let go I'd be lying if I told you that it never takes a toll on My mind, I need someone to save me But I have to be the one who's saving you When you're exhausted I'm a shoulder where you [?] Gotta stay strong, what can I do when [Dax:] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [Ben Becker:] I know a lotta men don't feel the same but I don't feel ashamed Letting the water fall when my heart's ablaze Daddy taught me that was how to put a fire out So when I'm hurting I don't mind to cry my eyes out I only have a few examples of a man in my life And only one who made perfection life-like so I try To remember two words when I don't know what to do Don't forget "Jesus wept" and brother so can you [Dax:] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [The Mediary:] They said it's all in my head and I guess that makes sense 'Cause everything I feel, I keep in 'cause it's different for men We talk about our feelings, we're called oversensitive We're asked to strike a balance, it doesn't make sense so we Bottle everything up in our minds We grow cold, dark, alone as we slowly die Ya ever wonder why it's mostly men who commit suicide? We figure why not, we're already dead inside [Dax:] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [Hailey Dayton:] You picked me up when I was broken You pieced together words that were not spoken You found a way to see me as I was Even when the world hasn't shown you the same love You're expected to do everything on your own Provide and then hide all the feelings that you hold But your heart is deserving, now show it I see you for who you are, I hope that you know [?] [Dax (Hailey Dayton):] I can't hide myself ([?]) I don't expect you to understand ([?]) I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [Brutha Rick:] I know we all got decisions to make But it seems that my decisions cause division, I hate this pride I break inside but I cannot cry 'Cause all I wanna do is provide I was made for this, I'm a father of seven, my oldest is twenty, my youngest eleven And they all gotta eat so I bury my feelings and stand on my feet Like they told me, gotta be grown they told me You're on your own they told me, but we're not alone He showed me [Dax:] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [Phix:] Patiently waiting for God to show me signs I need I'm not the man for the job, all the things I can't be Put all my feelings aside I think that I'll be better off when I'm not alive Fought through depression for years and I tried to hide it Almost put pressure and pulled it but I decided To give it all that I can But this what it's like to be a man [Dax:] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [Skywalker DaVinci:] As a man if you show your emotions they take you for weak and this ain't nothing new Teaching my son to be mentally strong and prepare for the battle, he ain't even two Being a father is lit but I gotta admit that sometimes I don't know what to do Provide and protect was the name of the game I was playing for you and you know that it's true I'm conditioned to love that reality but you can't take a look from my view A lotta my days were [?] dogging me so I fought and you didn't have a clue When I had it we had it together but now we divided your colors are true I shouldn't have to ask for no help if you knew I was struggling, I woulda did it for you [Dax:] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [Shane Fraenkel:] I'm sorry, I never knew All the things that you go through I never meant to put your pain aside Didn't mean to make you need to hide These demons in your head, they'll tell you you're less than But I'm here to tell you that you're more than perfect And don't let the voices make you think you're worthless 'Cause you're worth it, you've got this [Dax (Shane Fraenkel):] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain (I just hope I'll understand) What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [ThaGreatWhite:] There's just a lot I wanna say To be a man requires you to hide the pain, you find yourself Inside a hole you can't get out, even though you wanna shout 'Cause the pain is just unbearable (oh no no) I just wanna cry and be given a hug And be told everything will be okay [?] I have a family that depends on me, oh [Dax:] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home [KaveMan Brown:] Look, as a man they expect you to be strong, as someone to lean on no matter what you dealing with I just lost a couple friends to drugs and when I woke up in the morning man I really wasn't feeling it But I gotta try to bottle the pain but when they took my son away I had to try to find a will to live Putting five whole years at a job then I got laid off and the news had me feeling sick I been drowning in the deep end, anybody wanna give me a reason? I don't even try to bother with a social life 'cause I would rather be alone on the weekends Just chilling with my demons, and I just to suppress the depression, in need of a blessing 'cause I'm really 'bout to lose it all Just remember that I tried to be a man when you lose me y'all and I'm gone [Dax:] I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home

I used to work so hard for my wife. She was my world and no matter how many mental days I needed to take off, I was still loyal to my job and still went in to work. There was only a few days i took off for her. With tears in my eyes as i type this, i am now a widower... and it's soo hard now. I don't like working for myself. I wish she was here now. I miss her soo much. When I hear this song, I get emotional because i hope and pray that I somehow made her happy enough and made her proud of me for everything Ive done for her. Thank you Dax for writing this song and thank you to everyone who got to be a part of this remix. You all are amazing.

Am a Priest. I wish i could just play this song on 30mins repeat as my sermon for our upcoming Men's convention. A message so deep. A song so encouraging. God bless you DAX.

I asked my wife to listen to this song with me, she did looked at me and said you don’t understand the struggles of woman. It broke me. All I wanted was her to say I got you babe.😢

An amazing man played this song for me. . . N a week later he never woke up! This song meant so much to him n it was hard for him to hear at the time cause he was missing his kids n tryin to get back up so he could see them again. Broke my heart when i heard the news, knowing he'd never get the chance now. This man who was like a brother to me n i don't get close to many people cause most suck. Yet every once in awhile u find those shinin stars in these dark days! R.I.P Kyle i know ur watchin us all from above, especially ur little girls! I'll see u again bro n until then every time I hear this song I'll always b thinkin of u!!!😢❤

Normal Dax songs slap hard, but these remixes are absolute top tier masterpieces. Thank you, Dax.

I'm 49, married for 30 years, raised 3 children, and now 2 grandchildren. I've tried explaining to my wife these feelings for years. To hear these other men and women testify to exactly what I've been trying to say for all of this time, instantly dissolved me into a puddle of emotions. It feels like for once I'm not alone on this earth, walking head first into the wind

I’m 41 I was a marine police officer and a firefighter before I have 4 kids 2 boys and 2 girls married 6 years I ask god to send me a sign and and one of my firefighter brothers sent this to me so now I’m going back to the fire department thank you god for everything you have done for me and my family and thank you for given me a father to be here when I needed him but now my father and 2 bothers and sister is with you love y’all god bless
