Stupid Boy

[Verse 1]

Well, she was precious like a flower

She grew wild, wild, but innocent

A perfect prayer in a desperate hour

She was everything beautiful and different

[Pre-Chorus]

Stupid boy, you can't fence that in

Stupid boy, it's like holding back the wind

[Chorus]

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans

She never even knew she had a choice

And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't

Stupid boy

Stupid boy, oh

[Verse 2]

So what made you think you could take a life

And just push it, push it around?

I guess to build yourself up so high

You had to take her and break her down

[Chorus]

Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans

She never even knew she had a choice

And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't

You stupid boy

[Bridge]

Oh, you always had to be right

But now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive

Oh-oh

Yeah

[Chorus]

Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands (Yeah)

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans

Yes, you did

She never even knew she had a choice

And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't

You stupid boy

Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy

[Verse 3]

It took a while for her to figure out she could run

But when she did, she was long gone, long gone

[Outro]

Mm, she's gone

She's long gone

Mm, yeah, she's gone

Yeah, oh-oh

Oh, no one's ever going to love me like she loved me

And she loved me, she loved me, God, please, just let her know

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby

Yeah, I'm down on my knees

She's never coming back to me
