you say i only hear what i want to

It sounds like you're referencing the lyrics from the song "I Only Hear What I Want To" by Peter Gabriel! It's a great track from his 1980 self-titled album (often called "Melt"). The lyrics explore the idea of selective hearing and perception-how sometimes we hear only what fits our own perspective or desires. Would you like me to share more about the song, its meaning, or maybe the full lyrics?
