It is What it is Lyrics

It's hard to believe I've got what I need

When all I can see is pain

This nightmare of a dream we call reality

Is something I can't escape

But I just gotta hold on

I'll give it what I got

I'll give you what I got

I'm just gonna hold on

Don't need no sedative

I guess it is what it is

I got a crappy set of cards to be handed

A couple hard blows and a whole lot of damage

Yeah, and my luck turned up empty handed

Heaven only knows what the good Lord's planning

I got a taste of the days up ahead of me

Got served a plate of the pain of reality

And I'm told that "that's just life"

And it's "a real shame you don't live twice"

But then I'm told there's a hope at the end of the road

It's just the present's all I know

It's hard to believe I've got what I need

When all I can see is pain

This nightmare of a dream we call reality

Is something I can't escape

But I just gotta hold on

I'll give it what I got, I'll give you what I got

I'm just gonna hold on

Don't need no sedative, I guess it is what it is

Yeah, I might have a couple screws loose from all the crashes

Got a couple burdens that I carry from my past, yeah

I don't need no pity, cause you're with me in this madness

Hope you can forgive me if I'm trying on about it

So I'm giving it all I got, even if I don't got a lot

I don't know much, but I know I'm not abandoned

So forgive me for my sins, it's just tough to take it in

Lord, you love me, I just don't know what you're planning

It's hard to believe I've got what I need

When all I can see is pain

This nightmare of a dream we call reality

Is something I can't escape

But I just gotta hold on

I'll give it what I got, I'll give you what I got

I'm just gonna hold on

Don't need no sedative, I guess it is what it is

It's hard to believe I've got what I need

When all I can see is pain (when I can see is pain)

This nightmare of a dream we call reality

Is something I can't escape (it's something that I can't escape)

But I just gotta hold on

I'll give it what I got, I'll give you what I got

I'm just gonna hold on

Don't need no sedative, I guess it is what it is

It's hard to believe I've got what I need

When all I can see is pain

This nightmare of a dream we call reality

Is something I can't escape

But I just gotta hold on

I'll give it what I got, I'll give you what I got
