This is a truly beautiful song. Another song of impossible love. Even though "we have the sense to recognize" that we must let go, it is not an easy thing to do. We will continue to yearn for that person, but if it wasn't meant to be, in order to retain your mental stability, you have to learn to let go. The most powerful part of the song:
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you
Speaks to me on a very deep level. When you're in love, at least when I was, the happiness of that person becomes the most important thing and in a sense, you live for the sole purpose of being there for them. The realization of that when it's over is truly mind-numbing. I hope that someday I will know how to let go.
What ravages of spirit Conjured this temptuous rage Created you a monster Broken by the rule of love And fate has lead you through it You do what you have to do And fate has led you through it You do what you have to do... And I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go Every moment marked With apparitions of your soul I'm ever swiftly moving Trying to escape this desire The yearning to be near you I do what I have to do The yearning to be near you I do what I have to do... But I have the sense to recognize That I don't know how To let you go I don't know how To let you go A glowing ember Burning hot Burning slow Deep within I'm shaken by the violence Of existing for only you I know I can't be with you I do what I have to do I know I can't be with you I do what I have to do And I have sense to recognize but I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go
