[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 weed
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
A way to feel a bit, a little bit less lonely
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

Marina Diamandis

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
