it is what it is (unplugged)

Talking to the wall 'cause, at least, I hear an echo
Ooh, oh-oh
Carrying my cross 'til my spirit has to let go
Ooh, oh-oh

Gave up finding one good reason
I've stopped trying to stop this bleedin', no-oh
Runnin' out of all these alibis
When they ask me how I'm holding on
I can feel me cavin' in
And now all that I can say

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
Yeah, mm

And I feel everything and nothin' at the same time
And the pain is so exquisite, I don't even ask why

You're walking on the water that I'm drowning in
Thought I heard a whisper, was it just the wind again?
Or the trail of blood I'm following?
Only leads me back to my door
And if I'm the one to blame
I guess all that I could say

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, and I grow numb, but I don't weep
Wake up, but I don't sleep
And I didn't choose this hell
Oh, and I'm the wolf from all the sheep
Wake up, but I don't sleep
Father, save me from myself, oh

It is, it is, it is, it is
And my soul's gone numb
My words go dry
But you alone keep me alive
It is what it is
