the cranberries - Linger (lyrics)

the cranberries

Linger

If 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 every day
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 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 want to 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?

It was always on the radio when I was studying. That was when I was in 19 years old now I am 50.

Im currently 15 and seeing all of the comments of people who grew up warms my heart. I hope to have the same experiences, this song gives me a sort of feeling no other song has.

[timothyrobinson]

The same 4 chords repeated over and over in the same order have never sounded so beautiful. A rich, lush arrangement and a touching emotinal sentiment, penned and performed by a one of a kind songstress. Rest peacefully Dolores, you are sorely missed by so many. ❤

[Sanrioluvv]

my father use to sing this to us when we were little and hold me and my sister he passed in December, miss him everyday .

[barborastainerova]

This song has my heart, anytime i hear it I fall into tears of happiness, sadness and nostalgia and my brother does as well. I have a video of me when I was little, like very little maybe like 3-5 years old and this song was playing there, my brother that was about 15 years then picked me up and started spinning me. It's just so beautiful I can't even process what I feel when I hear this song.

It is crazy how when you hear a song from the past, you can look back and remember the times you were having, almost like you are there again. Magical

[frenchenstein]

Four minutes thirty eight seconds of pure beauty.

RIP Dolores ❤

I remember the kids that worked for me. I was 25, and I just purchased a KFC franchise. My crew were 15 16 17 18 year olds... they thought I was an ancient old man. I see them posting now about the Cranberries... now they are 51 52 53 now. I laugh. I told you guys 25 was not old ... you will be 50 in the blink of an eye. I used to listen to this after we closed up the restaurant at night. They are all 50 years plus now. Song reminds me of good times with my great crew. I'm retired at 63. It's funny to think my crew of kids are all oldies but goodies now, too.

I’m 15 and seeing all the older people looking back on this song warms my heart

[davidclaro]

Man, time flies! I still love this song. Time flies, and I’m 52 now.

[LizIsHauntedMiddleton]

I will miss her and her incredible unmatched voice forever

[_serjzeras]

That's the song that me and my ex boyfriend picked up for ourselves a long time ago.

He passed away in a very young age. Too young. We weren't so well that moment, one of my biggest regrets and a deep lesson: Be nice to those you love and care about, cause you NEVER know when it's gonna be your last moment with them.😢 RIP L.

[youkai]

I remember when Delores O'Riordan died. I literally stopped what I was doing, and cried when I first heard the news...this song hits differently now than then.

[derrelkizis]

This song was my childhood, I love it so much.💚
I miss your voice Dolores.😢
You were the best singer of the band.

[jamesjames]

I LOVE THE CRANBERRIES SONG LINGER AND THEIR INCREDIBLE BACKGROUND MELODIES.

[mizeria]

I’m 35 but ive listened to this in my 90’s life, it reminds me of my departed brother and the old days who passed away 2021😢

[mrsjgray]

Gosh, I remember this song playing with me and my husband flying around in his car having fun (safe fun) around town. I love you, Jason. ❤ That was 28 years ago 🙏

This used to be my mom's favorite song when she was 16-now she's 53 . Now it's mine and my sisters favorite song and were both in are 20s I'm 22 soon to be 23 on January 4th .
Thank you momma.
For having such taste in music
I love you so much momma 💙

[aaliyah]

i love this song. the only reason i know the cranberries is because my dad is such a huge fan. i think most of my music taste is stolen from him, this song is probably one of my favorites. it reminds me of late night drives with just me and him, i would’ve loved to have seen it live with him :)

Currently I’m 27 yo and I remember this song was on the radio all the time when was so young. Hearing this song now makes me reflect about how my life changed since that time, the person I became. So nostalgic. Such a good feeling.
