Stay (I Missed You)
[Intro]
You say I only hear what I want to
You say I talk so all the time, so?
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
'Cause I missed you
Yeah, yeah, I missed you
[Interlude]
And you say I only hear what I want to
[Verse 2]
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, no, no, no (Bad)
[Verse 3]
So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
Lovers in love and the others 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
Think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Refrain]
'Cause I missed you
Yeah, I missed you
[Verse 6]
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 so scared to lose
[Outro]
And you say, "Stay"
And you say I only hear what I want to
