Let's look at it and see:

"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, 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.

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.

some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
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."
but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

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

you say I only hear what I want to."

When someone says "You only hear what you want to," it means that the person is not really listening. They're only partially listening, hearing just the part that they want to hear in order to match what they've already made up their minds is true.

She is saying that she's made a mistake leaving her lover - she thought everything was simple and easy, but it's not because now she misses the other person. She didn't really listen to them or understand what they were going through because she didn't pay attention to them enough. She only heard the negative stuff that made her want to leave.

Now, she's doubting herself, thinking she's not so sure about herself now, not sure she's going to live forever. She thought she was the one throwing the other person away, but now she realizes she's really the one thrown down. She thought she was strong, but she was really naive.

The last part is her lover talking, telling her how she only wanted to keep him/her because she was too scared to lose. She had the other person, but they knew she'd let them go someday.

It's a song about a person who's realized that they made a mistake, but isn't certain that she can fix it at this point.
