You say I only hear what I want to
You say I talk so all the time so
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leavin'
Now I know that I did somethin' wrong cause I missed you
Yeah I missed you
And you say I only hear what I want to
I don't listen hard
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
Or to anyone, anywhere
I don't understand if you really care
I'm only hearing negative, no no no bad
So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
Lover's in love and the others run away
Lover is crying cause the other won't stay
Some of us hover when we weep for the other
Who was dying since the day they were born well
Well, this is not that
I think that I'm throwin'
But I'm thrown
And I thought I'd live forever
But now I'm not so sure
You try to tell me that I'm clever
But that won't take me anyhow
Or anywhere with you
You said that I was naive
And I thought that I was strong
I thought, hey I can leave, I can leave
Oh but now I know that I was wrong
Cause I missed you
Yeah I missed you
You said, you caught me cause you want me
And one day I'll let you go
You try to give away a keeper
Or keep me cause you know
You're just so scared to lose
And you say, Stay
And you say I only hear what I want to
