And so it began
We were so full of hope
We'd strike a grand bargain
Friends thought we would cope
With how the sands might shift
Nothing stood in our way
But you began to drift
And all you could think to say
It is what it is
False promises made
Did not hear my voice
Since debts must be paid
Could not approve my choice
Could not afford to care
Just had to have your way
You did not want to share
And all you could think to say
It is what it is
It is what it is
Am I guilty of cowardice
If I forget you exist
It is what it is
Took chance after chance
To make it all right
Missed dance after dance
On night after night
I've seen this film before
Still ends the same way
You walk out the door
And all you can think to say
It is what it is
It is what it is
So much for our state of bliss
Now I can't see past the abyss
It is what it is
It is what it is
I thought there'd be more than this
Now I must forget you exist
It is what it is
It is what it is
It is what it is
It is what it is
It is what it is
