Linger
Is it cruel that I should want you to suffer?
Perhaps it is just that I am selfish
I want to know that you suffer as I do.
I want to know that you will miss me as much as I'll miss you
I don't want to be alone with all this pain
If we can't share our love then at least we have our pain
I want it to linger with you
To make you realize how unfortunate it is
That you won't give us a chance
Too much memory here
I don't believe it for a minute
You can make it all go away but you choose to hold on
Just as I choose to hold on
All this, it overshadows my affections
As if they did not mean anything
But I refuse to let this go the way you would let it go
It does not have to end in anguish
Nor would it if you would only continue
As the tears well in my eyes
I begin to realize that no matter how hard I try
I can never convince you that I am worthwhile
That is my plight and I will suffer alone
Perhaps it is just that I am selfish
I want to know that you suffer as I do.
I want to know that you will miss me as much as I'll miss you
I don't want to be alone with all this pain
If we can't share our love then at least we have our pain
I want it to linger with you
To make you realize how unfortunate it is
That you won't give us a chance
Too much memory here
I don't believe it for a minute
You can make it all go away but you choose to hold on
Just as I choose to hold on
All this, it overshadows my affections
As if they did not mean anything
But I refuse to let this go the way you would let it go
It does not have to end in anguish
Nor would it if you would only continue
As the tears well in my eyes
I begin to realize that no matter how hard I try
I can never convince you that I am worthwhile
That is my plight and I will suffer alone
