Stupid Thing Lyrics

Cover art for Stupid Thing lyrics by Aimee Mann

"I bet you knew it would come that's just like you, to sit back and just play it dumb one word of warning would help but that sacrifice was made trying to save yourself"

to me this is about a guy who has been pursuing the narrator, maybe even desperately, trying to win her over, and she finally came around and opened up to him...and then something happens, he chickens out and wants to run away from what he's started, but instead of saying that to her, he makes up an excuse(saying she's said or done something stupid), doesn't even really give her any warning, and just one day quits coming around...and she feels hurt and at the same time, pissed off, because the guy seems to think he's somehow gotten the better of her or something and acts like she's the one who looks stupid, when it's his cowardice that's to blame for it all.
