Do I Really Have to? - Denison Witmer

Center City on a bus

Feelings change from want to must

So I pushed the meaning to it all

I carry you from place to place said,

«This is how I spend my days,

Do you understand my shape, my form?»

Do I really have to let you go Not if I don’t want to Last night spent on the couch

Felt your heartbeat pounding out

Sounds like someone’s footsteps on the floor

I dreamt we walked from room to room

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 blocks you build more life upon

They’re the corner of your eye

Their quiet arms still comfort you

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