Stay

Original Lyrics

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

To anyone, anywhere

I 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

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, but that won’t take me anyhow

Or anywhere with you

You said that I was naive

And I thought that I was strong

Oh, I thought, hey I can leave, I can leave

Oh, but now I know that I was wrong

‘Cause I missed you

Yeah, 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’re know you’re just too scared to lose

And you say

Stay

You say I only hear what I want to
