Well the song itself seems to just be about a guy telling his girlfriend/wife that he will love her "Always." But there's also a little story in the music video where a man cheats on his wife, and she runs off and poses for some other guy's painting. Then the first guy finds her and sees the painting and they start fighting again.
I guess the song is just about being faithful to your lover?

I think this song is trying to show that even though men screw up and hurt the women they love they still have feelings eg 'this romeo is bleeding, but you can't see his blood'. Its a really good song with a cool vid. The men in it are sooooo hot. Sarah xxxxx

This song was written for a movie called "romeo is bleeding" with gary oldman- it was a bad movie so bon jovi retracted it from the movie soundtrack but ultimately as one of the posts above says it is about a stalker and jon thinks its funny how people think of it as a love song

This song describes a time in my life that really happened. A man and woman that were so in love was ruined when the man got into drugs and started abusing the woman and making her life a living hell. She finally gets the strength to leave him, but leaves with the clothes on her back because she is in fear of her life. She winds up in a battered woman's shelter, gets out and starts a brand new life in another town. He on the other hand, turns to crime to support his drug habit, gets arrested and is doing time for many years. While he is incarcerated, he gets off the drugs and realizes what he has done and what he has lost, yet still does not understand why the woman ran from him and never returned. He finds out the woman moved on, finds a new man and leaves that old life behind.

Now I am not saying that is what this song is about, but it described my situation at that time and it's like the song is telling my story back then.

Well, just so its clear Jon Bon Jovi never ever mentioned that it's about a stalker....the song is based on a script for a movie called romeo is bleeding. He says he likes writing songs for movies because the story is already there...
Unfortunately the song never ended up in the movie cause they pulled it back(it was a crappy movie). So watch the movie to get the meaning of the song. CHEERS!

This song is quite a dark love song in my opinion. In all honesty, it can be seen as an amazing love song, but as Jon said on the TLFR, we as an audience have seen the song in a "glass half full" prospective, we have neglected to see that the guy in the story can't get over a girl who seems to be over him. Jon did however mention this song came from "that dark place he finds himself in sometimes" so maybe the darker theme is more historically correct.
