Song Challenge Day 13

Day 13: A song that is a Guilty Pleasure

Everyone knows this song, it's been playing on radio shows or the tv for years now. I can still remember the times when I was so hyped to learn this from the guitar hahahaha although I suck at playing now.

 

I chose this song as a guilty pleasure track since I enjoyed it even though the message kinda sad. It reminds me of those times when you just want to shut down every senseless noise around you and surprised only to hear from a voice that you are dying to listen. A voice from the person that made a huge impact but suddenly leaves you without knowing why. It was fun while it lasted and people moved on with their lives.

When I think of it now, I should be thankful for the memories that person gave me. I never felt any remorse of it, just some little bliss.

Lyrics:

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.

So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
lover's in love, and the other's run away,
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 me 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 miss you.

You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go."
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just
scared to lose.

And you say, "Stay."
And you say I only hear what I want to.
