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, 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 - bad

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
And some of us hover when we weep 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 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 I'll let you go"
You try to give away a 
keeper or keep me cause you're know
You're just too scared to lose

And 
you say, "stay" 

You say I only hear what I want to
