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.
