Makes Me Wonder
The Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up, with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
Yeah, so this is goodbye

God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

I've been here before
One day I'll wake up
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
'Cause

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you and I
And so this is goodbye

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah




So this is goodbye, yeah
So this is goodbye, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Maroon 5's 'Makes Me Wonder' speak to the struggles of a break-up and coming to terms with the end of a relationship. The opening lines set the scene with the singer waking up with "blood-shot eyes" and struggling to remember the physical pleasure that was once shared between two people. The song speaks to the fleeting nature of physical pleasure and the aftermath that comes with giving in to base desires. The chorus serves as a reminder that the ashes of a relationship remain long after it's burned out, as the singer questions whether or not they ever really cared about their partner.


The second verse continues the story of the aftermath of a break-up, with the singer acknowledging that they played a role in the ending of the relationship. They try to forget about the truth and ignore the pain that their partner is going through. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's disbelief in their former partner and the uncertainty of whether or not they should even try to move on from the relationship. The final verses continue to reinforce the notion that it's time to say goodbye, that the emotions are too painful to continue, and the past relationship is over.


Line by Line Meaning

I wake up, with blood-shot eyes
I am exhausted and have been crying a lot


Struggled to memorize
I am struggling to remember what it felt like when we were together


The way it felt between your thighs
I am missing the physical intimacy we shared


Pleasure that made you cry
I remember how much you enjoyed being with me and that makes me sad


Feels so good to be bad
Being reckless and impulsive with you felt amazing at the time


Not worth the aftermath, after that
Now I realize that my actions had serious consequences


Try to get you back
I want to win you back even though it may not be possible


I still don't have the reason
I do not understand why we fell apart


And you don't have the time
You are too busy for me


And it really makes me wonder
I am questioning why we ever were together


If I ever gave a fuck about you
I am questioning if I ever truly cared about you


Give me something to believe in
I am searching for a reason to keep fighting for our relationship


'Cause I don't believe in you
I have lost faith in you and our relationship


Anymore, anymore
I am completely done with everything


I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
I am unsure if trying to fix things is even worth it anymore


Yeah, so this is goodbye
Our relationship has come to an end


God damn, my spinning head
I am feeling overwhelmed and confused


Decisions that made my bed
I made choices that led to our relationship ending


Now I must lay in it
I have to deal with the consequences of my actions


And deal with things I left unsaid
There are things that I did not communicate to you that are now weighing on me


I want to dive into you
I want to be close to you again


Forget what you're going through
I want to forget the issues that led to our breakup


I get behind, make your move
I am willing to do whatever it takes to be with you again


Forget about the truth
I am willing to ignore the issues that led to our relationship ending


And you told me how you're feeling
You have opened up to me about your emotions


But I don't believe it's true
I am having trouble trusting you and your feelings


And so this is goodbye
We are saying goodbye to each other

@@2Future4U We admire their "beauty" of the rich and famous. Are they truly beautiful? as they seem to have:
- hoofs for the legs
- bald heads
- animal faced /birds, dogs, wolves , you name it)
- tails
- horns


(Channels which share knowledge about this topic:
Divine truth1

But they "look" human?. Sure they do. They must hide, of we would kill them as we would then know, who they are (offspring of Cain = the cursed bloodline)
But they "look" human?. - it is just an illusion.
What`s underneath the illusion? - didn`t you already get a picture?


Ever noticed that every singer has at least 1 dark song?
Could it be, they sharing their experience after signing the blood contract?
M J – has “thriller”
K P – has “wide awake”

When they were a band.

@arthurgabriel4325

Before they turned into the Adams family

@dougxvale

I wish they could return to Kara's Flowers that would be dope. Ditch all of the clean pop style to a more alternative grunge persona

@ricoamordavila7496

Before Adam turned lame...

@shifalmohamed2512

@@dougxvale in last live their talks were saying like upcoming album will be good.... Like Adam said his dream writing team has quited and returned and this felt like they will be writing their new songs... Then James said that upcoming album is his favourite, he won't say that unless it has many guitar riffs.... James like songs with more guitar riffs like the sun
