Moving On

What do I do? I can put away the letters. Hide them in a drawer. I can forget what you sent them for, and I can take your name, out of my book.
I can put away the pictures. I can put the dreams aside, but I just can't seem to put you out of my mind.
So, tell me now. What do I do? What do I do with the love? What do I do with the memories?
What do I do with the nights? Without you by my side. They used to be yours and mine.
Without you, what do I do with the love? I can go out every night now. Stay out 'til the dawn. Do whatever I want to. Anytime I want and I can make believe, we never met. I can clear out all the closets. Leave your things outside the door but I just can't seem to, not love you anymore. What do I do with this heart? Who do I give it to. What do I do with these arms? If they're not holding you? What do I do with the time? If I'm not spending time with you. Since I gave my love to you. What do I do with the love?
