There is probably no need for a overly-literal translation here. In most contexts, you could probably just get away with saying "es que."

I agree with Izanoni, however, in Mexico a very common expression is "Lo que pasa es que ........."

Could it be "la cosa es que......." ?
That seems so simple but I do believe I have heard it once or twice. Whether it was Spanglish I can't tell you.

Not in my opinion - cogumela, Oct 16, 2011
depends on what you want to say. "la cosa es que" - google hits? 22,900,000 - jeezzle, Oct 16, 2011
es que = (la cosa) es que. (el hecho) es que. - jeezzle, Oct 16, 2011
