It Is 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.

Open the paper, turn it to the center

Trying to forget but I always remember

Close that door, suddenly it's over

Now you are my soil when you used to be my clover

I could go out to the movies, It just bring me down

I know I have to settle for seeing you around

I guess that I could take it if I just smile and fake it

I'm sinking into the ground

You were my sparrow, singing my song

Now you're an arrow, piercing my heart

I'm feeling so empty, I don't know what I'm doing

But I gotta keep moving

This is right now

'Cause baby with you I'm fascinated

And when I'm alone it's you I miss

And baby it's true, our love has faded

So now I'm letting go

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

And nothing I can do

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

It is what it is

I wish it wasn't true

But it is what it is

Couldn't take the pressure

Couldn't last forever

Yeah, I saw it when I looked in your eyes

And now there's nothing to recover

It's broken down the center

I gotta leave these traces behind

You were my anger, holding me down

Now you're a stranger, all over town

I'm feeling so empty, I don't know what I'm doing

But I gotta keep moving

'Cause this is right now

'Cause baby with you I'm fascinated

And when I'm alone it's you I miss

And baby it's true, our love has faded

So now I'm letting go

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

There's nothing I can do

Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

It is what it is

I wish it wasn't true

But it is what it is

I'm not afraid

To go and do this on my own

'Cause if I had stayed

I would still be feeling alone

And I know down in my heart

This is the way that it should be

I just got to keep reminding myself

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

There's nothing I can do

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

It is what it is

I wish it wasn't true

But it is what it is

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

There's nothing I can do

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

It is what it is

I wish it wasn't true

But it is what it is

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

There's nothing I can do

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

It is what it is

I wish it wasn't true

But it is what it is

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

There's nothing I can do

'Cause it is what it is

It is what it is

It is what it is

I wish it wasn't true

But it is what it is
