It Is What It Is
Ruthanne Lyrics

It is what it is
This is the reality of our situation, which cannot be changed.

And I can't say it more clear
I have expressed my feelings to you as straightforwardly as possible.

Though I feel something when we kiss
Despite my reservations, I still experience emotions when we kiss.

Time's never on our side
Our relationship faces significant time constraints and limitations.

And it's been messing with my mind
The stress brought on by our circumstances has been affecting my mental state.

We shot and we missed
We have attempted to make this work in the past, but we have not succeeded.

It's hard to live
It is difficult to continue in this relationship.

To live on borrowed time
Knowing our time together is limited is a source of anxiety for me.

I want you so badly
I have strong feelings for you.

But I know you can't be mine
I understand that we cannot be together in the way that I desire.

I'll drag myself away
I will try to distance myself emotionally from this situation.

Before my heart unwinds
Before my emotions become too overwhelming to handle.

You know we've crashed this car
Our relationship has suffered setbacks in the past.

One too many times
These setbacks have accumulated and may be irreversible.

A dead end romance
Our relationship does not have a future together.

Too bad we never had a chance
Despite our feelings for each other, our situation prevents us from having a real chance at a future together.

Caught up in the web we twist
Our complicated relationship has put us in a bind.

Like Romeo and Juliet
Our relationship is reminiscent of the Shakespearean tale of star-crossed lovers.

We're star-crossed but not dead yet
We still have feelings for each other, but we are not meant to be together.

I'll miss what we could've been
I'll regret the potential our relationship had but never fulfilled.

We can't move in
We cannot progress our relationship.

When there's mountains in our way
There are significant obstacles that are preventing us from moving forward.

Let's stop the madness
We need to stop the emotional turmoil this is causing us.

Before we lose our minds
Before our emotions get the best of us.

You're the key that won't fit
We are not meant to unlock each other's deepest desires.

And though we try we can't force it
Despite our efforts, we cannot make this work.

I won't forget the way we kissed
I will always remember the good times we had, including our intimate moments.
