Expert Response
This might be mouse-eared chickweed, see the link or do an online image search to compare it with your plant. I’m sorry, but I’m not recognizing it positively based only on this photo. A photo of the plant growing in your yard and/or of a flower will help firm up an ID.
What type of landscape is this growing in? How have you tried to remove it? How long has it been a problem? If in a lawn, how do you treat your lawn for weeds? Sometimes a photo of a more distant view of the landscape helps us troubleshoot a situation with you.
