It Is What It Is – maryjo Lyrics

My house was always full of doubts, imaginary friends

So mom and I got out when I was only 'bout ten

At least I got his height, his waist and not his prescription, but I miss him

I miss him

I downplayed all my hunger, saying that's the showbiz weight

'Til I had to go somewhere, the lab coats counted what I ate

The aching cuts just like a knife I held against my skin

Can't wear a carpet dress 'cause that'd show everywhere it's been

And it is what it is what it is when you pull back the curtain, the only thing certain

It is what it is what it is, twenty something and learning that I'm only just a person

Healing and hurting and feeling the heartbreak

Fully imperfect, a soul and a heart rate

And it is what it is what it is when you pull back the curtain, I'm only just a person

I was so afraid of what would happen after death

But now that's the only way I get to see some of my friends

I set my roommates up with all the guys that I liked

'Cause they deserve them, they'll love them, they're beautiful and kind

Hell, they found me in a bathtub when I had intrusive thoughts

Sarah held me crying as her husband dropped us off

Been a weird few years of tears and 4 a.m. nights

Quarter century crisis, isn't that just living life?

And it is what it is what it is when you pull back the curtain, the only thing certain

It is what it is what it is, twenty something and learning that I'm only just a person

Healing and hurting and feeling the heartbreak

Fully imperfect, a soul and a heart rate

And it is what it is what it is when you pull back the curtain, I'm only just a person

Will I ever fall in love again?

Will I ever learn to make amends?

I'm so over trying to play pretend

Oh, does it ever end?

Is there any way to escape the hell?

Is there a path I shoulda chose instead?

I'm so over trying to play pretend

Oh, does it ever end?

When you pull back the curtain, the only thing certain

Twenty something and learning, I'm only just a person
