STAY (I MISSED YOU) by LISA LOEB

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 yeah, I missed you





You say I only hear what I want to:


I don't listen hard, 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


Know, know, know that





So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up (turn the radio)


And this woman was singing my song:


Lover's in love and the other's 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


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, "You caught me '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."





You say I only hear what I want to
