You say I only hear what I want to
You say I talk so all the time, soAnd 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 youAnd 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, noSo 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 staySome of us hover when we weepin' 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 thrownAnd 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 youYou said that I was naive and I thought that I was stronger
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 youYou said, you caught me
'Cause you want me and one day you'll let me go
You try to give away a keeper
Or keep me 'cause you know you're just scared to lose
And you say stayYou say I only hear what I want to
