Stupid Boy/He Didn't Want It
this song…..a friend gave me a few years ago….prophetic on that first round…four rounds later…it makes my heart ache for that first year & makes me want to give back the last four years.
Mashed up his lyrics with my own words and my story.
Lyrics: "Stupid Boy" by Keith Urban
Poem: "He didn't want it" by A. G. Cortez
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
My world was happy once. I loved hard. I loved strong, deep and recklessly. Wild, innocent and ideal. I believed love would change someone. That loving someone would win the world. That love was enough. It was not.
But I loved still. Deep and wild and strong.
love.
I let it pour out like wine on the altar of friendship and love on him.
he didn't want it, he said.
but he took it.
he didn't want it, he said.
but called me back and back again.
he didn't want it.
but I gave it anyway.
hoping.
dreaming.
hoping he would see it.
the wild
the deep
the unconditional
the love
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 can't
Stupid boy, stupid boy
Oh
It ended. I thought.
but he came back and back again.
More than twice.
Broke my heart and I let him return.
and i loved.
deeper. wilder.
more giving.
more pouring.
like oil anointing the wrongs.
hoping for everything to be righted.
he didn't want it, he said.
but he took it.
he didn't want it.
but gave it anyway.
he didn't
want
it.
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
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
in the end, he mattered more than I did.
he said he was being noble,
doing the 'right' thing…
but he broke me, for his own benefit.
it was about him.
not me.
i was left.
because he didn't want me.
Oh, you always had to be right but now you've lost
The only thing that ever made you feel alive
Yeah, yeah
he didn't want my love.
or he said he didn't.
but he took it.
when he left,
he took my love with him
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
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
i loved him.
deep. wild. innocent. strong.
fiercely.
like no other.
he traded me in for new
he traded in my love.
took the word of others.
sought something "different" he said…
he didn't want it, he said.
but he took it.
he didn't want.
me.
It took awhile for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone, long gone
Ah, she's gone, she's long gone.
Yes, she's gone
kept a secret.
kept hidden
my love.
under wraps, no one knew
he wanted me in hiding
not my love
just on his terms
now i see.
he said he didn't want me.
but he did
only on his terms
in his own way.
to take my love
and then walk away
he didn't want it, he said.
but he took it.
he didn't want it, he said.
but I gave it away,
he didn't want it.
he didn't want me.
but i loved him anyway.
wild. and deep and strong.
through the dark, through the storm.
forgiving love.
unconditional love.
kept secret.
kept hidden.
he didn't want me.
but i loved him anyway.
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
