you say i only hear what i want to
and 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, 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
to anyone, anywhere
i don't understand if you really care
i'm only hearing negative, no, no, no

so 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
oh, 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're know you're just too scared to lose
and you say
stay

you say i only hear what i want to
