“Weeds” is the 10th track on Marina And The Diamonds' third studio album FROOT.
It is most likely about her issues with remembering her past lover and their relationship. She tries to get rid of those feelings, since they’re unwanted, like weeds.
[Verse 1]
Could have filled a garden
With all the flowers that you gave me
But none of them were ours
You know the problem with history
It keeps coming back like weeds
And when nothing feels enough
At least you taught me how to love, how to love, love
But he keeps growing back
[Chorus]
Like weeds
Baby, just open your eyes to see
He's growing from inside me
And I just don't know what I can do
I thought I cut him at the root
Like weeds, like weeds
Like weeds, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I miss all of my exes
They're the only ones that know me
And God knows that sex is

Yeah, I tried to keep it covered up
Yeah, I thought I cut him at the root
But now I think my time is up
'Cause he keeps growing back
[Chorus]
Like weeds
Baby, just open your eyes to see
He's growing from inside me
And I just don't know what I can do
I thought I cut him at the root
Like weeds, like weeds
Like weeds, yeah, yeah
Like weeds, like weeds
Like weeds, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Baby, baby, baby, baby
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Like weeds, like weeds
Like weeds, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-eah-eah, yeah-eah-eah, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Yeah-eah-eah, yeah-eah-eah, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Eh-eh-eh
[Outro]
Baby, baby, baby, baby
