Stay (I Missed You) Lyrics
[00:13.69] You say I only hear what I want to
[00:20.97]
[00:24.48] And you say I talk so all the time, so?
[00:33.65]
[00:36.31] And I thought what I felt was simple
[00:39.80] And I thought that I don't belong
[00:42.57] And now that I am leaving
[00:45.64] Now I know that I did something wrong, 'cause I missed you
[00:51.69] Yeah, yeah, I missed you
[00:57.23]
[01:00.90] And you say I only hear what I want to
[01:06.04] I don't listen hard
[01:07.80] I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
[01:10.26] Or to anyone, anywhere
[01:12.30] I don't understand if you really care
[01:15.17] I'm only hearing negative, no, no, no (bad)
[01:20.59] And so, I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
[01:24.44] And this woman was singin' my song
[01:26.91] The lover's in love and the other's run away
[01:30.01] The lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay
[01:32.10] Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was dying since the day they were born
[01:38.11] Well, well, this is not that
[01:40.62] I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown
[01:44.81] And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure
[01:47.44] You try to tell me that I'm clever
[01:49.26] But that won't take my anyhow, or anywhere with you
[01:57.21] You said that I was naive
[02:00.02] And I thought that I was strong
[02:02.62] I thought, "Hey, I can leave, I can leave"
[02:05.45] Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you
[02:12.22] Yeah, I missed you
[02:18.03]
[02:20.46] You said you caught me 'cause you want me
[02:22.50] And one day you'd let me go
[02:23.39] You try to give away a keeper but keep me
[02:25.86] 'Cause you know you're just so scared to lose
[02:31.59] And you say, "Stay"
[02:41.32]
[02:45.29] And you say I only hear what I want to
[02:50.69]
[00:20.97]
[00:24.48] And you say I talk so all the time, so?
[00:33.65]
[00:36.31] And I thought what I felt was simple
[00:39.80] And I thought that I don't belong
[00:42.57] And now that I am leaving
[00:45.64] Now I know that I did something wrong, 'cause I missed you
[00:51.69] Yeah, yeah, I missed you
[00:57.23]
[01:00.90] And you say I only hear what I want to
