Talking to the wall 'cause, at least, I hear an echo
Ooh, oh-oh (ooh-ooh, oh-oh)
Carrying my cross 'til my spirit has to let go
Ooh, oh-oh (ooh-ooh, oh-oh)
Gave up finding one good reason
I'll stop trying to stop this breathin', no-oh
Runnin' out of all these alibis
(Do they ask me how I'm holding on?)
I can feel me cavin' in
And now all that I can say
It is, it is, it is what it is
All the things I couldn't change
I lay with someone else's sins
Let my soul just fly away
All the way up to Heaven's light
I pound those gates with no reply
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I feel everything and nothin' at the same time
(Oh, don't slow down)
Oh, the pain is so exquisite I don't even ask why
(Oh, but here's your call)
You're walking on the water that I'm drowning in
Thought I heard a whisper, was it just the wind again
Or the trail of blood I'm following?
(Following, following, following) mm-hm
And if I'm the one to blame
I guess all that I could say
It is, it is, it is what it is (ooh)
All the things I couldn't change
I lay with someone else's sins (ooh)
Let my soul just fly away
All the way up to Heaven's light
I pound those gates with no reply
Hey (oh), oh
Oh, when I grow numb, but I can't weep
Wake up, but I don't sleep
And I didn't choose this hell
Oh, when I'm the wolf from all the sheep
Wake up, but I don't sleep
Father, save me from myself (ooh)
Oh, no
Hm-mm
It is, it is, it is, it is
Hm, yeah
And my throats gone down
My words go dry
But you alone keep me alive
It is, it is, it is what it is
