Open the paper, turn it to the center
|
Trying to forget but I always remember
|
Close that door, suddenly it's over
|
Now you are my friend when you used to be my brother
|
I could go out to the movies
|
It'd just bring me down
|
I know I have to settle for seeing you around
|
I guess that I could take it if I just smile and fake it
|
I'm sinking into the ground
|
|
You were my sparrow
|
Singing my song
|
Now you're an arrow
|
Piercing my heart
|
I'm feeling so empty
|
I don't know what I'm doing
|
But I gotta keep moving
|
This is right now
|
|
Cause baby with you I'm fascinated
|
And when I'm alone it's you I miss
|
And baby it's you, our love has faded
|
So now I'm letting go
|
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
There's nothing I can do
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it is what it is
|
|
Couldn't take the push out
|
Couldn't last forever
|
Yeah, I saw it when I looked in your eyes
|
And now there's nothing to recover
|
It's broken down the center
|
I gotta leave these traces behind
|
You were my anger, holding me down
|
Now you're a stranger, all over town
|
I'm feeling so empty, I don't know what I'm doing
|
But I gotta keep moving
|
Cause this is right now
|
|
Cause baby with you I'm fascinated
|
And when I'm alone it's you I miss
|
And baby it's you, our love has faded
|
So now I'm letting go
|
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
There's nothing I can do
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it is what it is
|
|
I'm not afraid
|
To go and do this on my own
|
Cause if I had stayed
|
I would still be alone
|
And I know down in my heart
|
This is the way that it should be
|
I just got to keep reminding myself
|
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
There's nothing I can do
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it is what it is
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
There's nothing I can do
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it is what it is
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
There's nothing I can do
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it is what it is
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
There's nothing I can do
|
Cause it is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
It is what it is
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it is what it is
|
