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 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 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 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 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

And 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 missed you

You said you caught me 'cause

you want me 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

And you say I only hear what I want to
