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, 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, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
Lovers in love and the others run away
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
Thing 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
That won't take me anyhow or anywhere with you

And you said that I was naive
And I thought that I was strong, no
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 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
And you say I only hear what I want to
