Reality Bites soundtrack – Lisa Loeb - Stay (I Missed You) lyrics

Written by Lisa Loeb

You say I only hear what I want to
And 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

So I turned the radio on I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
The lover's in love and the other's run away
The lover is crying cause the other won't stay
And 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 me anyhow
Or anywhere with you

And you said that I was naive
And I thought that I was strong
I thought hey I can leave, I can leave
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 I'll let you go
You try to give away a keeper or keep me cause you're know
you're
just too scared to lose

And you say, stay

You say I only hear what I want to.
