it is what it is Lyrics

And the thing about it

It is what it is

And the sound it will make

Depends on the depth

And the promises you break

Are the poison I take

What does it take

To build a life you love

Everyones inside it

But you live in this house alone

We've walked by it

A thousand times before

And it never seems to be

What I've ever seen before

I went inside

To see what it's all about

The fuss that they were making

Wasn't what I thought

I went inside

And saw it for myself

The fires that they were making

Burned the house to the ground

When did I feel it in my bones

When did I see her shatter

I am old enough to know

All these pieces scatter

You can't cut fire

You can't breathe smoke

And really it don't matter

I am wise enough to know

That all these these things

Will end in smoke

And the thing about it

It was what it was

And the sound that it made

Was because of the depth

And the promises you broke

Was the poison I took
