stupid boy?
everybody has a weak side, vulnerabilities and insecurities...and everybody needs someone who is able to accept them with no judgment or criticism.
the person we reveal this vulnerable side to is usually the person we trust and love the most, the person whom we feel the most comfortable with. to him, you're weak... BUT only because he's the only person you show that side to. so what happens when that person starts to judge and to criticise?
we build up the image that we reveal to them to be a bit stronger each time. but deep down inside, we are no more stronger than we used to be. the vulnerability will always be present inside, we just don't reveal them to that person anymore (or not as much as before). we all need a pillar of strength to lean on sometimes. a pillar that will be there whenever needed.
that pillar should be there for support, consolation and motivation, not to tell you you can't. basically, if you're a pillar to someone and you don't have anything nice to say, then just shut up.
i think this is also one of the main reasons why people stray.
Boy A and Girl are together.
Boy A does not provide the support Girl needs.
Girl has friend, Boy B who listens and gives her the emotional support she needs.
Girl falls for Boy B and leaves Boy A.
sounds familiar? i've witnessed this too many times.
in fact, such is so common that Keith Urban (my current favourite singer) even has a song about it called "Stupid Boy".
well she was precious
like a flower
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 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 cant
stupid boy
stupid boy
so what made you think that 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
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 cant
and you stupid boy
oh you always had to be right
and now you've 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, oh yes he did
she never even knew she had a choice
and that's what happens when the only voice she hears
is telling her she cant
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
Nobody's ever gonna love me like she loved me
she loved me, she loved me
god please just let her know im sorry
im sorry, im sorry, im sorry baby
im down on my knees
she's never coming back to me
