Stay
Lisa Loeb - Tails
you say i only hear what i want toyou 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 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
to anyone anywhere
i don't understand if you really care
i'm only hearing negative
i turn the radio on i turn the radio up
lovers in love and lovers run away
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, 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."
oh, but now i know that i was wrong, 'cause i missed you
yeah, i miss you
you said, "i caught you 'cause i want you 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
