I know that we are in difficult situations these days and I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better.
May the dark thoughts, the over-thinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life.
With that said, The Cranberries’ song “Linger” is a beautiful, emotional song that tells a heartfelt story about love, loss, and regret.
Released in 1993, it was one of the band’s most popular songs, and it really showcased the unique voice of lead singer Dolores O’Riordan. An Irish prolific rock band formed in Limerick, The Cranberries were so popular in the 90s.
Lyrics:
If you, if you could return
Don’t let it burn
Don’t let it fade
I’m sure I might be rude
But it’s just your attitude
It’s tearing me apart
It’s ruining everything
And 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?
But I’m in so deep
You know I’m such a fool for you
You’ve 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’ve 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’ve 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’ve 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?
……THE END
