Lyrics: Do What You Have To Do
Album: Mirrorball
Artist: Sarah McLachlan
 

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
