You say I only hear what I want to

You say I talk slow 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 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 miss you

You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you 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
