Linger Lyrics

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining every day

I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?

But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong

If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just want to be with you

And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

What is the Meaning of Linger?

This captivating track paints a vivid picture of a love that's lost its spark. The protagonist grapples with feelings of betrayal and confusion, as her partner's actions contradict their promises of fidelity. She feels used and is torn apart by the lingering uncertainty in their relationship. Despite her pain, she remains deeply in love, almost to the point of foolishness, unable to free herself from the emotional hold this person has over her. This song is a poignant exploration of unreciprocated devotion and the struggle to let go of someone who no longer values your love. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, holding on can be more painful than letting go.
