you say i only hear what i want to.
|
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
|
or 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:
|
the lover's in love, and the other's run away,
|
the 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, 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."
|
but now i know that i was wrong, 'cause i missed you.
|
|
you said, "you caught you '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, "stay."
|
|
you say i only hear what i want to.
