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 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
