Takes
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

You laughed it off like it was just a game
But I still whisper, softly, your name

Do you have to let it stay this way
I'm still hoping, still your prisoner
Caught inside the words you didn't say

Pretending that you didn't hear me say
I thought this feeling might just fade with time
Instead it follows every step of mine

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

But my heart keeps singing this same song
Tell me if it's real or just a lie

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
