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 by myself I'm talking



My heart know it's 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
