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 leavin

now i know that i did somethin'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 bad

so i i turned the radio on i turned the radio up

and this woman was singin'my song

lover's in love and the other's run away

lover is cryin'cause the other won't stay

some of us hover when we weepin 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

and you said that i was naive

and i thought that i was stronger

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
