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 leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you
Yeah yeah, I missed you

You say I only hear what I want to
I don t listen hard,
don t pay attention to the distance that you re running to anyone, anywhere
I don t understand if you really care,
I m only hearing negative. No, No, No,

So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up (turn the radio)
And this woman was singing my song:
Lover s in love and the other s 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 throwing, 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
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 miss you

You said, "You caught me cause you want me and one day you ll let me go
"You try to give away a keeper, or keep me cause you know you re just scared to lose"
And you say, "Stay."

You say I only hear what I want to
