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 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 so scared to lose.
|
and you say, "stay."
|
|
you say I only hear what I want to.
