Do what you have to do

Music and Lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

 What ravages of spirit
 conjured this temptuous rage
 created you a monster
 broken by the rules 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
