Only What You Make Of It Lyrics - Little Big Town

1 You're like everybody else

2 Gotta deal with what you're dealt

3 You'll choose the story that you tell

4 Blame the world or blame yourself

5 Sometimes life comes at you hard

6 And it's easy to let it drag you down

7 Yeah, I get it, it's a mess

8 It's a struggle, it's a test

9 But can you find a place to rest

10 In a house of bitterness?

11 Just 'cause it ain't what you planned

12 Don't mean it ain't what it oughta be

13 'Cause it's only what you make of it

14 Yeah, it's only what you make of it

15 Yeah, it's only what you make of it

16 And you make it so hard on yourself

17 What you do and what you won't

18 What you will and what you don't

19 What you take and you give up

20 What you're risking when you love

21 Bet you where you're looking from

22 if you walk or if you run

23 You take the long way there

24 'Cause it's only what you make of it

25 Yeah, it's only what you make of it

26 Yeah, it's only what you make of it

27 And you make it so hard on yourself

28 You go looking for the darker side of anything

29 You know you're gonna find it •

30 You can hold on to it till it takes you under

31 Or you can let it go

32 No it ain't all your fault

33 No it isn't right

34 It ain't always fair

35 But it's only what you make of it

36 Yeah, it's only what you make of it

37 Yeah, it's only what you make of it
