Stupid Boy

I have never really been a country fan, beyond Dixie Chicks, but everyone listens to Dixie Chicks. Since we can't get any good FM reception on our studio's radio, except for Power 98 (which beyond the breakfast shows begins to get annoying), we had to listen to the cds we have, which wasn't too bad, till the programmer starts playing Jay Chou. After awhile we just ran out of cds to listen to and designers need music to work, so my boss brought Keith Urban's album, Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing. He's a country singer, and I love him. I heart him. I want to have his babies. One particular song from that album manage to touch a raw nerve.

Stupid Boy

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 holding back the wind
She let 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 you build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down

She let 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've lost
The only thing that ever made you feel alive
Yeah, yeah

Well, she let her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
Yes, ya 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

It took awhile for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone
Long gone, long gone

Ah, she's gone
Nobody's ever gonna 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

Must be the birthday thing coming this week, but I have been taking respite by listening to that song continuously. And every time I listen to it, the truer it becomes.
