Lisa Loeb Lyrics
"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

And 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, no, no, no (Bad)

And so I, I turn the radio on, I turn the radio up (Turn the radio up)
And this woman was singing my song
Lovers in love and the other's run away
Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay

Some of us hover and 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, 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 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
