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 mised you.
|
Yeah yeah, I missed you.
|
|
And 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."
|
|
And you say I only hear what I want to.
