Lingers Lyrics

I try to forget

And I know that I have to

But every time my mind is wandering

It always finds its way back to you

I thought you said that "whatever happens

We will always be friends"

Yet I was the one starting the conversations

That you just seemed to want to end

People say she's not worth my tears

Though

If she wasn't I wouldn't be crying

I'd do anything to be with her now

But I know

That there's no point in trying

These thoughts

They linger

Ain't goin' away any time soon

Cause I can't stop dreamin' of her

Can't get her outta my head

I'd rather forget instead of thinking

Where we'd be right now

I wish I could be hers

This feeling

It lingers

We kissed goodbye on a perfect night

And now that I reminisce

I guess when I walked out with her

When she had to go home

It really was a goodbye kiss

It's easy to say you're over it

When she's been gone so long

But feelings that return

Are just ones that have never really gone

These thoughts

They linger

Ain't goin' away any time soon

Cause I can't stop dreamin' of her

Can't get her outta my head

I'd rather forget instead of thinking

Where we'd be right now

If we hadn't fallen apart

I keep asking what if

And dwelling on the past

It's funny how you fall for somebody so fast

Cause she was perfect in my eyes

And that's why this is breaking my heart

I wish I could be hers

This feeling

It lingers

Ooooooooh

Don't waste my time

Put behind all we've been through

Won't lose my mind

Cause I've cried since the day you

Said to me

We can't be more than what I'd hoped for

We could've been so much more

These thoughts

They linger

Ain't goin' away any time soon

Cause I can't stop dreamin' of her

I keep asking what if

And dwelling on the past

It's funny how you fall for somebody so fast

Cause she was perfect in my eyes

And that's why this is breaking my heart

Can't get her outta my head

I'd rather forget instead of thinking

Where we'd be right now

I wish I could be hers

This feeling

It lingers

It lingers
