Lingering
I saw you across the room
and I knew I shouldn't stay
But 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
The look in your eyes says 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
Chorus:
Lingering, why are we apart
Lingering, you broke my heart
Lingering, should we make a new start - tonight
I want your arms to hold me
I want you to love me tonight
I remember your sweet kisses
Maybe this time we can get it right
When you smile at me that way
I'm willing to give us another try
but if it's not what you want, too
then once again, we'll say goodbye.
But I won't fall into your embrace
My heart can't take losing love again
If you tell me no, I'll turn and go
I can't stand here and pretend.
Chorus:
Lingering, why are we apart
Lingering, you broke my heart
Lingering, should we make a new start - tonight
