Linger On

[Verse 1] Staring at the ceiling in the dead of night Thoughts of you keep flooding in to steal my quiet Replaying scenes like movies in my mind Love's a bitter melody that keeps me tied [Pre-Chorus] Beneath the covers, I'm in too deep In the silence, it's your warmth I keep [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I try to break free But my heart just won't flee [Chorus] What if I linger on? (What if I linger on?) What if I'm not that strong? (What if I'm not that strong?) What if it's not just fate and you're my true song? What if I linger on? (What if I linger on?) [Verse 2] All these questions, they haunt my restless nights Shadows dancing with the morning light Wishing you were here, to help me see it clear I'm holding on to love that's just out of sight [Pre-Chorus] Yes, I try to escape But memories, they shape [Verse 3] Trace the echoes of our laughter in the halls Walls can whisper tales of us before the fall In every moment, finding traces of your smile It's a battle, but I'll wait for you, worthwhile [Pre-Chorus] Still, I fight to move on Yet the feeling's not gone [Chorus] So what if I linger on? (What if I linger on?) Is it so wrong to hold on? (Is it so wrong to hold on?) What if you're not just a dream, but where I belong? What if I linger on? (What if I linger on?) [Bridge] Maybe this isn't weakness, maybe it's strong To know what you're worth, and where you've gone
