[Verse 1]
Pretty soon you have to deal
With the truth behind the way you feel
And I'd rather never know
I would do anything, anything
Not to bring who I am to meet me
This useless suffering
Ugly part of me is screwing me
As it feeds me

[Chorus]
But it is what it is
You don't know how to live with what it is
But it is what it is
It may seem impossible
And I will embrace who I really am
If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid
Then that's what it is

[Verse 2]
Pretty soon you'll have to face
You're a virus called the human race
And I’d rather never know
I have done everything, everything
Not to feel what it is I'm feeling
This basement devil is kicking the ass
Of my angel on the ceiling

[Chorus]
But it is what it is
You don't know how to live with what it is
But it is what it is
It may seem impossible
And I will embrace who I really am
If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid
Then that's what it is

[Bridge]
Don't push me, don't kill me..
Don't push and.. don't kill me
Don't push me, don't tell me..
Don't swash and.. don't kill me
Don't rush me, don't kill me..
Don't jump me, don't swash me...
[Chorus]
But it is what it is
You don't know how to live with what it is
But it is what it is
It may seem impossible
And I will embrace who I really am
If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid
Then that's what it is...
