Verse:

                                     --
          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 leavin’
                                                          
          Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you
                       ---          
	  Yeah, I missed you 

  
Verse:
                                
          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
                                                 
          So I turned the radio on I turned the radio up 

                               
          And this woman 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

Refrain:
                                                               
          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

Verse:       
                                           

          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 
                                
          And you said that I was naïve 
                                   
          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       
                   --
          Yeah I missed you 

                                   
          You said "you caught me cause you want me And one day I'll let you 
                     
          You try to give away a keeper or keep me cause you're know
                                   
          you're  just too  scared to loose 
                                      
          And you say  stay"  --
              
          You say I only hear what I
  
          want to. --
