13. Linger - The Cranberries

Speaking of firsts, this Limerick band took my so-called concert virginity when I had the pleasure to see them perform whilst in high school.  Completely smitten by Dolores O'Riordan's Irish brogue, I vowed to cross the pond one day, and can proudly say that I've achieved that dream not once, but twice now.  Sigh...and how I'm always looking for a reason to return.

“I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey, so did you.
So why you were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?"


"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 wanna be with you."

“You got me wrapped around your finger.
Do you have to let it linger?”

The loss of trust is one of the worst possible blows to a committed relationship, especially when it’s the result of infidelity.  Generally, whomever found him/herself “cheated” has a choice to make...whether to give up on the guilty party or to risk the prospect of repeat occurrences.  In the case of the latter, it more often than not is much harder to let go.
