Little Big Town

Only What You Make Of It

Little Big Town


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 
And you make it so hard on yourself
