It Is What It Is

Verse 1 (≈1:20) I don’t gotta check your phone To feel when I’m not first It’s in how you say “hold on” Like I’m interrupting something worse You used to hear me breathe Now you hear me when it’s convenient I bring peace, I bring patience But somehow I’m still the easiest to leave in I don’t ask for much Just presence, just truth But I notice who you pour into When you say you got nothin’ left to give to me too I make space for your bad days You make time for someone else That ain’t paranoia That’s me finally trustin’ myself ⸻ Chorus (≈1:00) I’m right here, but I’m always last Still fightin’ for what we had I don’t scream, I don’t overreact I just feel the distance add up fast I give love, but it don’t come back Not the way it used to last I’m right here, but I’m always last And I’m tired of pretendin’ I don’t feel that ⸻ Verse 2 (≈1:20) I stopped askin’ for reassurance When actions spoke louder than vows Funny how I’m “too much” But somebody else get the softer version of you now You say I should understand Say you just need space to breathe But space shouldn’t mean I’m the one you slowly remove from your needs I don’t compete for attention That’s not love, that’s survival And I refuse to beg for basics While you give effort where it’s optional I stayed quiet long enough To hear the truth in between Sometimes love don’t leave you It just stop choosin’ you consistently ⸻ Chorus (Repeat – Slight Emphasis Shift) (≈1:10) I’m right here, but I’m always last Watchin’ first place slowly pass I don’t hate you, I don’t attack I just see the order don’t match I make room, you make excuses I adjust, you don’t react I’m right here, but I’m always last And that truth finally broke the attachment ⸻ Outro (≈30–40 sec – Beat Stripped Back) (Keys + bass only) “Love doesn’t disappear all at once. Sometimes it just stops choosing you. And the hardest part… is realizing you stayed loyal to someone who already rearranged their priorities.”
