Lisa Loeb - 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 am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you
Yeah, I missed you
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 turn 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
And some of us hover when we weep for the other who was dying
Since the day they were born
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.
