'Isn't That a Boys Name?" depicts a loss of innocence, wasted opportunity and an unjustified feeling of betrayal.
lyrics
Well I had the highest hopes for you, but I knew you had to fall,
Our lives it seems aren't quite in tune, no no it seems not at all,
You make it real real hard to empathise, to treat you how I'd like,
But it seems somebody got here first, well never mind,
You made yourself seem so innocent, and this was your first crime,
Grinding down your opposition, your conscience takes its time,
Girl, hey you got some explaining to do, and woman you've got it in spades,
Oh, I'm so tired of listening to your verbal mutilation of the truth, my patience is running dry, yeah,
Wasted, its criminal complacence,
Potential all but traces, left behind from someone else,
Oh and isn't that a boys name?
Virtues, written on the table,
and now you've rocked your cradle, your sweetness screams and hits the ground,
But maybe you don't quite deserve the blame, see its too late,
You threw it all away
