Lyrics for Lingering

Although I know I'm doing wrong My love for you is still going strong I feel that heart break you will only bring So why do I let it keep on lingering? To watch my love make his retreat Deep within my heart, I weep My heart should be learning how to sing Instead of merely waiting and lingering It's by myself I'm walking It's to myself I'm talking My heart know it's much too incomplete It's only in my dreams I find The kind of man I have in mind So each day I face a new defeat So by myself I'm dancing Still in my mind I'm chancing That this illusion will not end in tears Maybe morning leaves him waiting And perhaps relating that without me There are only empty years
