Stay

Stay - Lisa Loeb/Nine Stories

Written 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 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

Or to anyone anywhere

I don't understand if you really care

I'm only hearing negative no no no bad

And so I I turned the radio on I turned the radio up

And this woman was singin' my song

The lover's in love and the other's run away

The 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 my 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 missed you

You said you caught me cause you want me

And one day you'd let me go

You try to give away a keeper

But keep me cause you know you're just so scared to lose

And you say stay

And you say I only hear what I want to
