"it is what it is" lyrics

Talking to the wall 'cause, at least, I hear an echo-oh, oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh)
Carrying my cross 'til my spirit has to let go-oh, oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh)
Gave up finding one good reason
I've stopped trying to stop this bleedin', no-oh

Runnin' out of all these alibis
(When they ask me how I'm holding up)
I can feel me caving 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
Oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh

I feel everything and nothing at the same time (Oh, I've gone so numb)
Oh, the pain is so exquisite that I don't even ask why (Oh, but here you come)
You're walking on the water that I'm drownin' in
Thought I heard a whisper, was it just the wind again?

Oh, the trail of blood, I'm followin' (Followin', followin', followin')
(Only leads me back to my door)
And if I'm the one to blame
I guess 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
Oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh

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 among the sheep
Wake up but I don't sleep
Father, save me from myself, oh-hm

(Hm-mm) It is, it is, it is, it is
Hm, yeah-yeah
And my throat's gone numb, my words go dry
But you, alone, keep me alive
It is, it is, it is what it is
