Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why did I ever love you roses are red violets are blue
Why did I ever love you roses are red why did I ever love you
Roses are red, violets are blue, why did I ever love you
I wish I could press undo, I did so much for you
You don't even know the shit went through oh no
The shit went through, you said you loved me but it wasn't true
I thought you always back yeah you always to me that
And I believed it all along but I guess was wrong yeah
I guess I was wrong
Roses are red, violets are blue
Why did I ever love you roses are red violets are blue why did I ever love you
You were fucking me over mentally
You have no idea what that did to me
So much pain and agony was on my mind
It took me so long to get my head right
You had me lost like a deer in the headlights
But now I don't miss you, I don't wanna see you
I'm just sad I wasted all that time
When I could've been someone that would've treated me right
Because of you it was hard to ever to sleep at night
Yeah it was all for nothing yeah you and I
Oh woah oh woah oh woah oh woah yeah
Roses are red, violets are blue my heart is dead
The lyrics to A. G. Cook's song "Violets Are Blue" convey the pain and heartbreak experienced after a failed relationship. The chorus repeats the famous poem lines, "Roses are red, violets are blue," but in a mocking and resentful tone. The repetition of the question "Why did I ever love you?" reflects the singer's disbelief and regret for investing emotions in someone who did not truly love them back.
The verses delve deeper into the emotional turmoil caused by this unrequited love. The lyrics depict the singer reflecting on the sacrifices they made for the other person, even though they were not reciprocated. The line "The shit went through" suggests that the pain and difficulties of the relationship had a significant impact on the singer's well-being. They feel deceived by the false declarations of love and blame themselves for believing in it.
The second verse reveals the mental and emotional manipulation inflicted by the ex-partner. The singer expresses how their self-worth was diminished and how difficult it was to recover from the damage caused. They acknowledge the wasted time and the realization that they deserved someone who would treat them right. The closing line, "Roses are red, violets are blue, my heart is dead," signifies the finality of the relationship and the singer's emotional detachment.

Roses are, violets are blue
My emotions were once vibrant and alive
Why did I ever love you roses are red violets are blue
I question why I ever had romantic feelings for you
Why did I ever love you roses are red why did I ever love you
I wonder why I loved you despite your flaws and hurtful actions
I wish I could press undo, I did so much for you
I desire to erase my past efforts and sacrifices for you
You don't even know the shit went through oh no
You have no awareness of the pain I endured because of you
The shit went through, you said you loved me but it wasn't true
I experienced hardships while you deceitfully claimed to love me
The last 3 months you had me so confused
During the past three months, you kept me in a state of confusion
I thought you always back yeah you always to me that
I believed you would always support and stand by my side
And I believed it all along but I guess was wrong yeah
I held onto this belief, but now I realize I was mistaken
I guess I was wrong
I admit my previous misguided judgment
You were fucking me over mentally
You were emotionally manipulating and abusing me
You have no idea what that did to me
You have no understanding of the profound impact it had on me
So much pain and agony was on my mind
My mind was overwhelmed with immense suffering
It took me so long to get my head right
It required a significant amount of time for me to regain clarity and stability
You had me lost like a deer in the headlights
Your actions left me feeling paralyzed and confused
But now I don't miss you, I don't wanna see you
I no longer long for your presence or wish to encounter you
I'm just sad I wasted all that time
I feel sorrowful for investing so much time in our relationship
When I could've been someone that would've treated me right
I could have been with someone who would have treated me with respect and care
Because of you it was hard to ever to sleep at night
You caused me so much distress that I struggled to find peace in sleep
Yeah it was all for nothing yeah you and I
Our relationship ended up being meaningless and without value
Roses are red, violets are blue my heart is dead
My heart has lost all its love and vitality
