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
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
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'll 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

And you said that I was naive
And I thought that I was strong, oh
I thought, hey, I can leave, I can leave
Oh, 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
