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.

Yeah, 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.
