[Verse 1]
What ravages of spirit
Conjured this temptuous rage?
Created you a monster
Broken by the rule of love?
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
Oh, and fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do

[Chorus]
But I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go

[Verse 2]
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
Oh, the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do

[Chorus]
But I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go
And I don't know how to let you go
[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
A glowing ember
Burning hot and burning slow
And 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
Oh, I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do

[Chorus]
But I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go
Don't know how to let you go
Don't know how to let you go
And I don't know how to let you go
