Lyrics
[verse]
If you leave now I don't know what I'd do
I gave the quiet parts of me to you
You laughed it off like it was just a game
But I still whisper, softly, your name
[chorus]
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to let it stay this way
I'm still hoping, still your prisoner
Caught inside the words you didn't say
[verse]
I saw you turn and walk the other way
Pretending that you didn't hear me say
I thought this feeling might just fade with time
Instead it follows every step of mine
[chorus]
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to let it stay this way
I'm still hoping, still your prisoner
Caught inside the words you didn't say
[bridge]
Oh, I thought I could be strong
But my heart keeps singing this same song
Tell me if it's real or just a lie
I need to know before I say goodbye
[chorus]
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to let it stay this way
I'm still hoping, still your prisoner
Caught inside the words you didn't say
