Lyrics
Linger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some things are unending
Persisting, pushing us to break
And I am done, I am done, I am done
Pretending I'm not drowning in its wake
Because time passes by
Just like rain falling through my fingers
And though night becomes the day
And seasons change
The pain, it always lingers
It never goes away
The light is warm, but the shadow remains
In cracks in the pavement and lines in your face
And I am done, I am done, I am done
Pretending this will ever go away
But time passes by
Just like rain falling through my fingers
And though night becomes the day
And seasons change
The pain, it never goes away
Yeah, time passes by
Just like rain falling through my fingers
And though night becomes the day
And seasons change
The pain, it always lingers
I hope wherever you are
That you're finally free
I hope you've found your peace
The grief's like a wave
There's love in the pain
You'll know where your heart is
When you feel it break
When loss is a shipwreck
And sadness a sea
Hearts of gold and stone all sink
The grief's like a wave
There's love in the pain
You'll know where your heart is
When you feel it break
When loss is a shipwreck
And sadness a sea
Hearts of gold and stone all sink
Time passes by
Just like rain falling through my fingers
And though night becomes the day
And seasons change
The pain, it never goes away
Yeah, time passes by
Just like rain falling through my fingers
And though night becomes the day
And seasons change
The pain, it always lingers
