It is what it is
I'm all smiles
It can't get any worse than this
Borrowed time ain't fixing shit
Too bad we never had a chance
Dead ends got me feeling weak
But I just can't stand looking at my feet
Instead I'd rather smile and wave
To a memory I couldn't save
Maybe I'll re-see it
Maybe I'll relive it
But until then
Picked myself up from dust
I'll just smile, as I must
Because it is what it is
You laid down next to me
Took care of me while I was sleeping
Did you think it was easy setting you free?
Who's gonna comfort me when I'm grieving?
Words ain't playing the same role
Morning will come, and my heart will break
I was a thief and you kept feeding my greed
Just like a dream, you appear
I've tried to replace you
Yet there's no one there to calm my fear
There's no one there to see me through
Maybe I'll re-see it
Maybe I'll relive it
But until then
Picked myself up from the dust
I'll just smile, as I must
Because it is what it is
Why weren't our dreams safe while we fought?
Causing you a lotta blues wasn't my main intention
Never meant you to be distraught
But you were only based on misapprehension
Hello, do you hear stuff about me
Well let me tell you
I got off the ground, I'm stronger than ever
Do my songs sound better without me
Are you better now that you're free
Well let me tell you
After fighting for so long
I thought that I'd never get off the ground
Burnt the bridges, tainted my view
You used to be the cure
The only one I'd always come back to
Too bad you're gone
I dried my eyes on life's byway
I found love the other day
