Lingering

I saw you across the room and I knew I shouldn't stay but then you walked up to me and said, "How've you been?" I couldn't walk away. I can't find the right words to say. You etched the scars inside of me Can't risk opening the wounds again but from loving you, I'll never be free Lingering, why are we apart Lingering, you broke my heart Lingering, should we make a new start - tonight The look in your eyes tells me you still care Now what am I supposed to do My heart refuses to play fair I love you but I thought we were through I want your arms to hold me I want you to love me tonight I remember sweet kisses This time we might get it right Lingering, why are we apart Lingering, you broke my heart Lingering, should we make a new start - tonight I won't fall so fast into your embrace My heart can't take losing love again If you tell me no, I'll just turn and go I'm too weak to stand here and pretend. When you smile at me that way I'm willing to give us another try but if it's not what you want, too once again, we'll be saying goodbye. Lingering, why are we apart Lingering, you broke my heart Lingering, should we make a new start - tonight
