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
