It IS WHAT IT IS                                 Patty Gayle

 

Up all night again

Me and the remote

Hashin’ and rehashin’

Every word you spoke

I didn’t sleep last night

Wonderin’ where’d you go                                                                        

 

Swollen heart can’t catch my breath

Eyes too dry to relieve

Biting tortured sheets

Silence my screams

I didn’t sleep last night

Wonderin’ what’d you mean                                        

 

Just no way around it

It is what it is

No way around it

This time you’ve done me in

 

Just no way around it

It is what it is

No way around it

This time you’ve done me in   

 

Faked another day

Surrender the night

Silent desperation

Is she layin’ by your side

I didn’t sleep last night

Wonderin’ why’d you lie  

 

Looked in the mirror

Nobody there

Dirty clothes, tangled hair

Too numb to care

I didn’t sleep last night

Wonderin’ is she there

 

I didn’t sleep last night

Wishin’ I didn’t care

                  

Just no way around it

It is what it is

No way around it

This time you’ve done me in

 

Just no way around it

It is what it is

No way around it

This time you’ve done me in
