Do What You Have To Do

-Sarah McLauchlan

What ravages of spirit conjured, this temptuous rage,
created you a monster, broken by the rules of love
and fate has led 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 a 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,
so I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with 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... (repeat 3xs)
