  • 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
    Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
    Stupid boy, it's like holdin' back the wind

    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

    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, oh

    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

    Oh, you always had to be right
    But now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive, oh ho
    Yeah, yeah

    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, mm
    It took a while for her to figure out she could run
    But when she did, she was long gone, long gone

    Mmhm
    Ah, she was gone
    She's long gone
    Mm, yes, she is
    Yeah, oh

    Oh, no ones ever going to love me like she loved me
    And she loved and 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 Writer/s: Dave Berg, Deanna Bryant, Sarah Buxton
