It Is What It Is

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
