Lyrics:

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

And 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 (bad)

And so I, I turned the radio on I turned the radio up

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

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

And you say I only hear what I want to

You said you caught me 'cause you want me

And one day you'd let me go

You try to give away a keeper

But keep me 'cause you know

You're just so scared to lose

And you say, stay
