Lyrics

It Is What It Is
By Daryl Stevenett
(Verse 1)
That old screen door, still squeaks when it shuts
Your coffee cup’s sittin’ there, collectin’ dust
Neighbours still wave, when I drive on by
But it don’t feel the same without you by my side
(Chorus)
It is what it is, but it ain’t what it was
Love left a mark, now it’s turned into rust
The flame didn’t fade, it just burned out on us
It is what it, is but it ain’t what it was
(Verse 2)
The jukebox still plays, our favourite song
But I can’t make it right, when it’s going wrong
my ghost is still dancin’, with your memory
And the past keeps on gettin’ the best of me
(Chorus)
It is what it is, but it ain’t what it was
We bet on forever, but forever gave up
Now it’s just these four walls and in God I still trust
It is what it, is but it ain’t what it was
(Bridge)
I ain’t bitter, I ain’t mad
I just miss the love that we had
Time keeps on movin’, that’s just because
It is what it is, but it ain’t what it was
(Chorus/outro)
It is what it is, but it ain’t what it was
Love’s still a scar that I carry because
Life teaches lessons, we don’t rise above
It is what it is, but it ain’t what it was
Yeah it is what it is, but it ain’t what it was
