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'm leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you
Yeah, I missed you.
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 - bad.
So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
Lovers in love, and the others run away
The lover is crying cause the other won't stay
And 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 am 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.
And you said that I was naive.
And I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
But now I know that I was wrong cause I missed you.
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 scared to lose.
And you say, "stay."
You say I only hear what I want to
