It is what it is ...

So it's like that ...

How do you know when to stop ?
When trying is no longer worth it ...
How do you know when it's ok?
To care, to wonder, to want, to need ...

How do you know if it's right?
If you've ever failed to behave properly...
What happens if properly is not the right way to go?
If everything that is wrong is so right yet so wrong ...

So it's like that ...

You start behaving ...
You do your best ...
You try, you care ...
You wonder, you wander ...

And yet it always goes sideways,
There is always something very wrong...

Someone or Something to send you off,
To make you feel so wrong,
To make you think you did not do good,
To steel your smile and pride,
To have you question your standards ...

What are you going to do ...
When you know it's right,
And you feel so bad ...
When you know it's wrong,
And yet it feels so good ...

So it's like that ...
What can you do about it? ...
It is what it is ...
