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... 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 hearin' negative

no, no, no, no...

So I, I turned the radio on

I turned the radio up

and this woman was

singin' my song

Lover's in love

and the other's run away

lover is cryin' 'cause

the other won't stay

Some of us hover

when we weep for

the other who was

dyin' 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

that won't take me anyhow

or anywhere with you

You said that I was naive and

I thought that

I was strong, oh

I thought, hey

I can leave, I can leave

Ooh, 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

one day you'll let me 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
