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 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 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, 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"
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
and one day you'll let me go you try to give away a keeper or keep me 'cause yuu know you're just scared to lose
And you say
"Stay"

And you say
"I only hear what I want to"
