Stupid Boy

(album: Sarah Buxton - 2010)

She was precious, like a flower
Yeah, she grew wild; wild but innocent
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 laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
That's what happens when the only voice
She hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy, you stupid boy

So what made you think you could take her life
And just push it, push it around?
I guess you built yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
That's what happens when the only voice
She hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy

Ah, you always had to be right
And now you lost the only thing
That ever made you feel alive

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 that she had a choice
That's what happens when the only voice
She hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy

Ah, it's the same old, same old stupid boy
It took her a while to work it out she could run
But once she did, she was long gone, long gone
Yeah

Stupid boy, yeah
You're just a stupid boy
You never get it right, do you?
