What It Is

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can see you ahead of me

But I'm not always forward thinkin'

I tell you what you want to hear

It depends on what I've been drinkin'

Cuz everything I do or say

Makes it hard for you to stay

We both know what it is

Nowadays we talk to much

Like you're forgetting all the good shit

You decide what's wrong wit me

I always used to let you say

But now I like to think out loud

Your runnin' with some different crowd

We both know what it is

I don't know you anymore

Supposed to be the man

That I live my life by

And your attitude become a bore

And I'm so tired I can't even cry, cry

Mr ultra-sensitive

I'll never let myself forget you

Messed each other up you know

So I'm sorry if I upset you

Tomorrow is another day

So I'll call you 'cuz that's ok

We both know what it is

I don't know you anymore

Supposed to be the man

That I live my life by

And you're attitude become a bore

And I'm so tired

I can't even cry, I can't even cry

Relationship dosen't remain

We resonate on different flames

I could cut you down again

If you was like all other men

If you were like all other men

I know that I could shut you down again

But my friend, but my friend

I don't know you anyomore,

supposed to be the man, that I live my life by, I live my life.

You're attitudes become a bore,

And I'm so tired, I can't even cry.

I don't know you anyomore,

supposed to be the man, that I live my life by.

You're attitudes become a bore,

And I'm so tired, I can't even cry.
