Do What You Have to Do

Do What You Have to Do by Sarah McLachlan



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 recognise
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



and i have the sense to recognise
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 the sense to recognise
that I don't know how to let you go



i don't know how to let you go
