The song was written by Lisa and produced by Juan Patiño. Created as early as 1990, at one point with the intent of handing it to Daryl Hall.

Stay (I Missed You) Lyrics

[00:12.48] You say I only hear what I want to
[00:19.74]
[00:24.38] You say I talk so all the time, so
[00:32.74]
[00:36.12] And I thought what I felt was simple
[00:39.17] And I thought that I don't belong
[00:42.30] And now that I am leaving
[00:45.26] Now I know that I did something wrong
[00:47.64] 'Cause I missed you
[00:51.15] Yeah, yeah, I missed you
[00:56.86]
[01:00.28] And you say I only hear what I want to
[01:05.77] I don't listen hard
[01:07.15] Don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
[01:10.08] To anyone, anywhere
[01:11.78] I don't understand if you really care
[01:14.69] I'm only hearing negative, no, no, no
[01:20.03] So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
[01:24.23] And this woman was singing my song
[01:26.39] Lover's in love and the other's run away
[01:29.57] Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay
[01:32.82] Some of us hover when we weep for the
[01:35.07] Other who was dying since the day they were born
[01:37.52] Well, well, this is not that
[01:39.96] I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown
[01:44.20] And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure
[01:47.37] You try to tell me that I'm clever
[01:49.14] But that won't take me anyhow or anywhere with you
[01:54.54]
[01:56.77] You said that I was naive
[01:59.47] And I thought that I was strong
[02:02.52] I thought, 'Hey, I can leave, I can leave'
[02:04.99] Oh, but now I know that I was wrong
[02:08.13] 'Cause I missed you
[02:11.63] Yeah, I miss you
[02:17.98]
[02:20.18] You said you caught you 'cause you
[02:21.33] Want me and one day you'll let me go
[02:23.14] You'll try to give away a keeper or keep me
[02:25.44] 'Cause you know you're just so scared to lose
[02:31.33] And you say, 'Stay'
[02:38.55]
[02:45.09] And you say I only hear what I want to
[02:50.99]
