Stay

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'm leaving

Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you

Yeah, I missed you.

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 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

The 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:

I think that I am 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 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.

I missed you.

You said, "you caught me cause you want me

And one day I'll let you go."

You try to give away a keeper, or keep me cause you know you're

Just scared to lose.

And you say, "stay."

You say I only hear what I want to
