Do What You Have To Do
A Sarah McLachlan/Harry Potter Songfic
Harry sat, feeling the tears slip though his trembling fingers, which tightened with a sudden rage.
How could this happen?
It was so unfair.....
He picked up a picture of her, and closed his eyes, thinking back to their time together.
Oh, darling, he thought in pain, I love you. Why can't you come back to me?
Then he dropped the frame, and it shattered into a thousand pieces.
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 ...
Why did you leave me?
We were so close, baby....So close.
We were nearly to the end.....our beginning and you left.
You're part of me, how can I let that part of me go?
You leave me breathless, as you leave me empty.
Let me out....if you leave let me out of this game of love that has let you cheat and leave me so
quickly.
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
Why did you go.....
I needed you so much, honey.
Please say you'll return to me. I love you.
I remember the first time I told you that.....
That starry night on near the lake....right after the day you found out about him.
I know you cared about him, but you said never as much as you cared about me. I know that.
I still do.
that I don't know how
to let you go
I don't know how
to let you go
How could you be gone?
a glowing ember
burning hot
burning slow
deep within I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only you
You've been taken from me
I can't stand it
But I have to let you go on.
I love you too much to let you go
But I love you too much not to let you.
He began to cry again, and picked up the shattered frame which held her picture, long hair flowing and big brown eyes staring at him in annoyance and adoration.
How can you be gone?
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
I know I have to.
You're gone, you're resting.
I just hope that the one that did this to you gets what he deserves.
I love you, Herm.
Please, I'll never let you go. I'll just hold on forever. I'll never let go, sweetie. I love you.
Harry broke down into sobs, and dropped the single red rose gently onto her white coffin.
