so be it
Resigned words of agreement
So be it expresses resigned acceptance of something one cannot or will not change.
It acknowledges an outcome without enthusiasm: If that's your decision, so be it.
The phrase often carries a note of finality—the speaker is done arguing or has made peace with circumstances beyond their control.
