Linger Lyrics by Thirteen Weeks

0

I hope you know why I can’t stay the way you wanted me to be
So I’ll go and hide away the love that lingers and burns through me
I’ll put it out

Don’t hold it against me, I’m letting you go
I pray someday to be what you want
But I can't wait till then

I can’t keep you close enough to me
Not the way I want you the way that we should be
Close enough to me we could have everything

Don’t hold it against me
I’m letting you go
I pray someday to be what you want
But I can't wait till then

I've made up my mind to save myself
It's because I love you that I’m leaving
You're safe in the arms of someone else
It's because I love you that I'm leaving

Don’t hold it against me
I’m letting you go
I pray someday to be what you want
But I can't wait till then
