Lyrics

0:13You say I only hear what I want to
0:24You say I talk so all the time so
0:36And I thought what I felt was simple
0:39And I thought that I don't belong
0:42And now that I am leaving
0:45Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you
0:51Yeah I missed you
1:00And you say I only hear what I want to
1:06I don't listen hard
1:07I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
1:10Or to anyone anywhere
1:11I don't understand if you really care
1:14I'm only hearing negative no no no bad
1:20And so I I turned the radio on I turned the radio up
1:24And this woman was singin' my song
1:26The lover's in love and the other's run away
1:29The lover is crying cause the other won't stay
1:32Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
1:35Dying since the day they were born
1:37Well well this is not that
1:40I think that I'm throwing but I'm thrown
1:44And I thought I'd live forever but now I'm not so sure
1:47You try to tell me that I'm clever
1:49But that won't take my anyhow or anywhere with you
1:57You said that I was naive
2:00And I thought that I was strong
2:03I thought hey I can leave I can leave
2:05Oh but now I know that I was wrong cause I missed you
2:12Yeah I missed you
2:20You said you caught me cause you want me
2:21And one day you'd let me go
2:23You try to give away a keeper
2:25But keep me cause you know you're just so scared to lose
2:31And you say stay
2:45And you say I only hear what I want to
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 bad
And so I I turned the radio on I turned the radio up
And this woman was singin' 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 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 my 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'd let me go
You try to give away a keeper
But 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
