Do What You Have To Do
What ravages of spirit conjured this temptuous rage Created you a monster Broken by the rule of love and fate has led you thought it You do what you have to do And fate has led you through it You do what you have to do
I had the sense to recognize That I don't know how to let you go
Every moment marked With apparitions of your soul However swiftly moving I'm 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
And I had 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 I know I can't be with you I do what I have to do And I had the sense to recognize That I don't know how to let you go But I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go
