Do I Really Have To?

Center City on a bus
People change from want to must
So I pushed the meaning to it all
I carry you from place to place
I said "This is how I spend my days...
Do you better understand my shape, my form?"

Do I really have to let you go?
Not if I don't want to...

Your last nights on the couch
I hear you heartbeat pounding out
It sounded like someone's footsteps on the floor
I dreamt we walked from room to room
And opened doors into those parts of you
All the memories that I have of us before

Do I really have to let you go?
Do I really have to?

When someone you love dies you never question where they've gone
Like landscapes under snow, they're the blocks you build more life upon
They're the corners of your eyes
Their quiet arms still comfort you
Do I really have to?

Do I really have to let you go?
