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
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
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
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
It took a while for her to figure out
She could run but when she did
She was long gone, long gone
She's gone
She's long gone
Mmm yeah she is now
Oh yeah, ohhh
Oh, No one'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
One of my favorite songs since always... And now it describes my marriage. I gave everything to my husband and never left him even if I should have done it long time ago... he always made me think I was wrong and paranoiac, he hit me so many times and for some reason I always thought I couldn't ever leave him... Some years later, I realized he was cheating on me and for so long... I forgave him but he did it again and again,... so now I decided to get divorced, even though he begs me to reconsider my decision... And that's for me the meaning of the song... He felt so strong making me feel so weak... It took me a lot of time to realize I had a choice. He pushed me and broke my heart, my body, my soul, my goals. He will realize some day, but I won't be here waiting.
