Do What You Have To Do Lyrics

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
