| 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 guy 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 |
