[Intro]
You say
I only hear what I want to
You say
I talk so all the time
So?

[Verse 1]
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leavin'
Now I know that I did somethin' wrong
'Cause I missed you
Yeah, yeah I missed you

[Verse 2]
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 runnin' to anyone, anywhere
I don't understand if you really care
I'm only hearin' negative, no, no, no, bad

[Verse 3]
So I... I turn the radio on, I turn the radio up
And this woman was singin' my song
Lovers in love and the other's run away
Lover is cryin' 'cause the other won't stay
Some of us hover while we're waitin' for the other who was dyin' since the day they were born, well
Well, this is not that I think that I'm throwin' but I'm thrown

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 4]
And you said that I was naive, and (Naive)
I thought that I was strong, oh
I thought, "Hey, I can leave, I can leave", oh (Leave)
But now I know that I was wrong
'Cause I missed you
Yeah, I missed you

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
And you say
"Stay"
You say
I only hear what I want to
