(Tom Shapiro/Chris Waters)

I don't have to go to those places that we used to go to
I could stay away for days on end if I wanted to
And I don't have to keep your picture by the bed to help me sleep
I could find another dream to dream if I wanted to.

I don't have to still be in love with you
With your memory running through my head
I could get over you anytime I wanted to
If I wanted to forget, I just don't want to yet.

I don't have to live with this heartache that you left me with
I could simply get you off my mind if I wanted to
But then I'd leave behind all the moments that were yours and mine
And I don't think that's something I could do if I wanted to.

I don't have to still be in love with you
With your memory running through my head
I could get over you anytime I wanted to
If I wanted to forget I just don't want to yet...
