You're like everybody else   Gotta deal with what you're dealt   You 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, oh, 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   You make it hard      It's only what you make of it   It's only what you make of it   It's only what you make of it   Only what you make of it   Yeah, it?s only what you make of it   Only what you make of it      It's only what you make of it   Only what you make of it   It's only what you make of it   Only what you make of it
