Little Big Town - Only What You Make of It lyrics

You're like everybody else Gotta deal with what you're dealt You'll choose the story that you tell Blame the world or blame yourself Sometimes life comes at you hard And it's easy to let it drag you down Yeah, I get it, it's a mess It's a struggle, it's a test But can you find a place to rest In a house of bitterness? Just 'cause it ain't what you planned Don't mean it ain't what it oughta be 'Cause it's only what you make of it Yeah, it's only what you make of it Yeah, it's only what you make of it And you make it so hard on yourself What you do and what you won't What you will and what you don't What you take and you give up What you're risking when you love Bet you where you're looking from if you walk or if you run You take the long way there 'Cause it's only what you make of it Yeah, it's only what you make of it Yeah, it's only what you make of it And you make it so hard on yourself You go looking for the darker side of anything You know you're gonna find it • You can hold on to it till it takes you under Or you can let it go No it ain't all your fault No it isn't right It ain't always fair But it's only what you make of it Yeah, it's only what you make of it Yeah, it's only what you make of it
