It Is What It Is
Mr. Pit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cause you've been waiting for me
And I've been waiting for you
And I've been feeling like I'm
Lost this time
And you've been holding on me
And I've been holding on you
But what is it for
What is it for
Cause I be on my own these days
And all you do is hope and pray
But we just need to wait sometimes
I be feeling all this weight sometimes
Let me just
Take a second I'll be fine
Cause you and I been trying, you've been crying all the time
Probably understand if I confided in you, fine
You're a wake up to me lying and you're tired of all the lies
Can we just
Stay up, lay up, yeah
And deal with all the hate stuff later
You wanna hold me down, feeling held back
You tell me that you love me and I felt that
Cause you've been waiting for me
And I've been waiting for you
And I've been feeling like I'm
Lost this time
And you've been holding on me
And I've been holding on you
But what is it for
What is it for
You and I
Fighting this war
Tryna find peace out here
Do or die
Fighting this war
But what is it for
You ask a lot of me, I shouldn't have to question it
I guess I felt the pressure, I be heading home - let me think
Indecisive and now I got you waiting on me
Need to heal, but got you being patient on me
You're an angel that I love with everything I have
Feeling like we're draining one another, never giving back
Thinking - what is it for, if it's that
But this flame wouldn't burn so bright if we didn't match
Cause you've been waiting for me
And I've been waiting for you
And I've been feeling like I'm
Lost this time
And you've been holding on me
And I've been holding on you
But what is it for
What is it for
You and I
Fighting this war
Tryna find peace out here
Do or die




Fighting this war
But what is it for

Line by Line Meaning

I say I love you, I hold you near me
I express my love and physical affection towards you


You say I scare you, well that's your fear
You claim that I intimidate you, but that's a result of your own anxieties


I know the message my heart is sending
I am aware of the feelings that I am experiencing


But you don't read it, you keep me guessing
You are unable to perceive my true emotions, which makes it difficult for me to understand your intentions


Is it love, is it love you're after
I am curious as to whether you are seeking love or something else


The broken record goes round and round
My thoughts and feelings about you are repeating themselves


Within a circle, without a sound
These thoughts and feelings are self-contained and not being communicated


I'm under water, in overdrive
I feel submerged and overwhelmed by my emotions for you


You hide in laughter, what's on your mind
You use humor to conceal your true thoughts and feelings


Is it love, is it love you're after - why don't you tell me
I am asking you to be honest about your desires and intentions towards me


Is it love, is it, is it love
I am questioning whether the feelings between us are genuine love or something else


Is it love, is it love you're after - why can't you tell me
I am frustrated that you are not being transparent with me about your true motivations


Is it love, is it really love
I am seeking confirmation that the emotions between us are truly love and not just infatuation or lust


Hey girl, I got to know, is it really, really love
I am expressing my urgent need for clarity about our relationship and the authenticity of our feelings for each other


Everybody's lookin' for the magic love to come along and hope we'll find it
Many people are searching for a mythical, perfect form of love and hoping to stumble upon it


Is it love, is it really love...
I am still waiting for an answer to my question about the true nature of our feelings for each other
