Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories ☆ Stay

you say i only hear what i want to

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

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
don’t understand if you really care
i’m only hearing negative no no no
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
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’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
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
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
scared to lose
and you say stay
