[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Runnin’ out of all these alibis
(When they ask me how I'm holding up)
I can feel me cavin' in
And now all that I can say
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I feel everything and nothing at the same time (Oh, I've gone so numb)
Oh, the pain is so exquisite, I don't even ask why (Oh, but hеre you come)
You’re walking on thе water that I’m drownin' in
Thought I heard a whisper, was it just the wind again?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the trail of blood I’m followin'
Followin', followin', followin’
(Always leads me back to my door)
And if I'm the one to blame
I guess all that I can say
[Chorus]
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 (Yeah), ooh, ooh (Ooh)
[Bridge]
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, ooh-hm
[Outro]
(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
