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 simpleAnd I thought that I don't belongAnd 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 toI don't listen hard, don't pay attentionTo the distance that you're runningTo anyone, anywhereI don't understand if you really careI'm only hearing negative, no no no, bad

So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio upAnd this woman was singin' my songLover's in love and the other's run awayLover is cryin', 'cause the other won't staySome of us hover when we weepin' for the otherWho was dying since the day they were born, well?Well, this is not that I think that I'm throwingBut I'm thrown

And I thought I'd live foreverBut now I'm not so sureYou try to tell me that I'm cleverBut that won't take me anyhowOr anywhere with you

And you said that I was naiveAnd I thought that I was strongerI thought, hey I can leave, I can leave

Oh but now I know that I was wrong'Cause I missed youYeah, I missed you

You said, you caught me'Cause you want meOne day you'll let me goYou try to give away a keeperOr keep me 'cause you knowYou're just so scared to lose

And you say, Stay

And you say, I only hear what I want to
