Royel Otis - Linger Lyrics




[ Originally by Cranberries ]

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?

Royel Otis - Linger Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


Linger by Royel Otis delves into the complexities of love and betrayal, exploring the lingering feelings that follow a broken relationship.

The song creates a moody, reflective atmosphere filled with emotional tension. It feels like a conversation between two people who are trying to make sense of their tangled emotions.

In the chorus, we hear the raw vulnerability: "You know I'm such a fool for you, You've got me wrapped around your finger.” These lines capture the essence of being emotionally trapped and unable to move on. The verses add layers to this narrative, revealing feelings of confusion and betrayal—”Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?” We can almost feel the pain and frustration as the singer grapples with unanswered questions.
