In “Cause You Have To,” LANY tells the story of a relationship where both people can feel things slipping away, even if nobody wants to admit it yet. One person is still willing to do anything to make it work, but the other seems emotionally distant, and the silence between them says more than words do. Instead of blaming each other, the song focuses on the painful realization that you can’t force someone to stay in love just because of history, comfort, or obligation. It was released on September 29, 2023.

• LANY - 'Cause You Have To (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Chasin' a heart is like chasin' a ghost
You can't make somebody you love feel the same
If they don't
It doesn't matter the words that you say
'Cause just like the seasons, you can't stop the way
People change
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd drive through the night
Walk a thousand miles
To feel your head on my chest
I'd give anythin'
That's what's killin' me
'Cause you won't even reach across the bed
[Chorus]
The silence is gettin' too cold
We stop fightin'
'Cause deep down inside, we both know
Just for once, what do you want, baby, tell mе the truth
Do you only love me 'causе you have to?
[Verse 2]
All of your friends now were all of mine first
Your mom and your dad, they were both there for me when mine weren't
I can't see tomorrow without you today
But I'd rather let you go than make you feel like you've gotta stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd drive through the night
Walk a thousand miles
To feel your head on my chest
I'd give anythin'
That's what's killin' me
'Cause you won't even reach across the bed
[Chorus]
The silence is gettin' too cold
We stop fightin'
'Cause deep down inside, we both know
Just for once, what do you want, baby, tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?
So come on, don't be afraid to break my heart
It only gets worse if you wait
Just for once, what do you want, baby, tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?
[Bridge]
I'm so sorry, I wish I could be
The one to love you more
I hope you find somebody
Who's got everythin' you're searchin' for
[Chorus]
The silence is gettin' too cold
We stopped fightin'
'Cause deep down inside, we both know
Just for once, what do you want, baby, tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?
