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.
