John Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Play so many crazy games
Love can come and love may go
Both sides have to bear the hurt, I know
Let's just say, enough's enough
And call it a love, honey, I fell for your bluff
I'm sitting here and drowning in my sorrow
Honey, we both know how hard we tried
Every story has two sides
And love is young but love gets old
Love is hot and sometimes love gets cold
Just like the fool that keeps hanging on
Wondering where our love went wrong
I'm sitting here and drowning in my sorrow
I hope things aren't like this tomorrow
My friends say all I need is time
But I can't seem to get you off my mind
Forgetting is something that is hard to do
It's keeping me from getting over you
And I don't wanna hear how your times are hard
I got to pull the weeds from my own backyard
I'm sitting here and drowning in my sorrow
I hope things aren't like this tomorrow
I'm sitting here and drowning in my sorrow
I hope things aren't like this tomorrow
It's a fact, I know that love is strange
Play so many crazy games
And love can come and love may go
And both sides have to bear the hurt, I know
In the song "Weeds" by John Anderson, the singer reflects on the ups and downs of love. He realizes that love is unpredictable and can play many "crazy games." He acknowledges that both parties involved must bear the hurt when love fades away. The lyrics depict a sense of longing and heartache. The singer describes his feelings of being deceived by someone he once loved and feels like a fool for holding on even when things went wrong.
He decides that enough is enough and it's time to move on from the relationship. He hopes to make peace with his sorrow and not feel the same way the next day. However, he finds it hard to do so, as the memories of the once happy relationship persist. He goes on to mention that his friends say he needs time to heal, but it's hard to forget and move on from someone he once loved.
The lyrics express the confusion, pain, and subsequent frustration felt in a failed relationship, and how someone can be left feeling helpless as they try to move on. The song's message emphasizes the difficult journey of getting over heartbreak and learning to let go of a once significant relationship.
