Lingering Lyrics
Although I know I'm doing wrong
My love for you is still going strong
I feel that heartbreak you will only bring
So why do I let it keep on lingering?
To watch my love make his retreat
Deep within my heart I weep
My heart should be learning how to sing
Instead of merely waiting and lingering
It's by myself I'm walking
It's by myself I'm talking
My heart knows it's too incomplete
It's only in my dreams I find
The kind of man I have in mind
So each day I face a new defeat
So by myself I'm dancing
Still in my mind I'm chancing
That this illusion will not end in tears
Maybe morning leaves him waiting
And perhaps relating that without me
There are only empty years
My love for you is still going strong
I feel that heartbreak you will only bring
So why do I let it keep on lingering?
Deep within my heart I weep
My heart should be learning how to sing
Instead of merely waiting and lingering
It's by myself I'm talking
My heart knows it's too incomplete
The kind of man I have in mind
So each day I face a new defeat
Still in my mind I'm chancing
That this illusion will not end in tears
And perhaps relating that without me
There are only empty years
