Linger Lyrics by Sami Thompson

2021

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger-er
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

[Verse 2]
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, yеah, I was wrong, yeah
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't bе so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew (You always really knew)
I just want to be with you (I just want to be with you)

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you, yeah
You've got me wrapped around your finger-er
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to
'Cause I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you~
You've got me wrapped around your finger, finger, finger
Do you have to let it linger, linger, linger, linger?
