Stay (Lisa Loeb, from Reality Bites)

STAY [I MISSED YOU] 

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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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, "you caught me 'cause you want me and one day you 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
