Linger

4:34Album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? 1993-03-01

Description

This is how the aftertaste of love sounds - slightly bitter, slightly sweet, when everything is already clear, but you still can't let go. The words here go round and round, like thoughts after a quarrel, and each line clings to the remnants of hope, as if to a sleeve. This is not drama, but a quiet inner storm, where pride argues with longing, and the heart with reason. And while the world goes on, one question still echoes inside: ‘Why did you let it drag on?’

Lyrics and translation

Original

(Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm)

(Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm)

(Mm, mm-mm)

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 everything

And 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 wanna 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?

(Oh)

(Oh-oh)

(Oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
