This song to me is from a man's standpoint talking to his girlfriend/lover. He made a mistake and knows that he is wrong, but there is no way to solve the problem. It seems the harder he tries, the more it feels like he will never win. The ending, "No strength to pray for the end-the-weeds turn to roses", to me sounds as if he's saying that he doesn't have the strength to end the relationship, but the weeds turning to roses, I think, may be wrong, that he is talking about there being some chance of staying with her. If the weeds are their relationship, them turning to roses could mean that there still is hope. Dunno if it's right or not, just throwing a guess out there. Oh well, if I am wrong, the song still kicks ass!!
