- Linger LyricsIf 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 everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why you were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you
But I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
And I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
And I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

Facts about Linger
✔️
Linger is written by Dolores Mary O'riordan, Noel Hogan.
✔️
It is first released on March 01, 1993 as part of Cranberries's album "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?" which includes 12 tracks in total. This song is the 6th track on this album.
✔️
When we take a closer look to the meaning, the Cranberries' 'Linger' dissects the nature of betrayal and heartbreak in a romantic scenario where one partner is completely in love but at the same time feeling used and misled by the other one. Through the lyrics the singer is sharing the agony of being attached to a person who is not as committed as one is, thus making the protagonist question the other one's sincerity and feel open to being hurt. Linger's lyrical content greatly revolves around heartbreak, love, despair, angst, and contemplation. It also touches death in love and the inevitable confusion and longing caused by it, thus asserting the importance of the second half of the love triangle, which is the third party witnessed by the relationship. The emotional content in the lyrics can be categorized under heartbreak and emotional turmoil, thus making it unsuitable for very young children. Although there is no use of strong language or depiction of sex, the emotional intensity and themes of betrayal and confusion are such that parental guidance may be the right approach.

Reading all the previous posts, I'm seeing that sometime in our life we dedicate this song, but did we dedicate the person that loved us back? Don't know, love is such a mistery
