This is about a guy who thought everything was good but was blinded by the fact that the relationship was going to hell. She's left him lots of times, playing with his heart, but this time she's not coming back. It hit him hard, and it's like a permanent scar. He did what he could to keep her, but she's just never satisfied. He's playing love like it's a game, not taking it seriously, which angers her and causes her to leave. He wants to fix what's broken, and make everything better again. He just wants to love her, because it's what they both want, but when she left him for good, it hurt him, and he doesn't know if he can go through it again.
According to lead singer Adam Levine, this song is about how he was fed up with his relationship with Jane and how the record label was pressuring the band for more songs.
There are two versions of the video, both featuring vocalist Adam Levine canoodling with his girlfriend at the time, model Kelly McGee. The second is a censored version where flowers cover nudity. Sophie Muller directed the video, along with the band's "She Will Be Loved" and "Won't Go Home Without You."
