Sarah McLachlan

Do What You Have To Do

 

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 hve 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
