"if it were up to me" lyrics

"if it were up to me"

Saw a quote on my phone
It went a little like this
"If it's not my problem
Then it's not mine to fix"
Blame it on my mama
Why the feeling exists
But I'm old enough now, call it as it is
I'm a little wiser than I used to be
Life is looking less like a tragedy
Got a heart of gold
I'm working on the ease
I've never been good at being 23

I try my best but I still fall
God, I wanna have it all
I think I could have it all
If it were all up to me
I'd be thin and tall
I'd take care of my family
We would live happily
If it were all up to me

I got a couple new friends
And a guy that I like
He cares as much as me
I gotta say that it's nice
I've been laughing harder than I have in my life
But some days I feel like I can't do nothin' right

I try my best but I still fall
God, I wanna have it all
I think I could have it all
If it were all up to me
I'd be thin and tall
I'd take care of my family
We would live happily
If it were all up to me

But I'm not mad at what I've been given
That's the best part of forgiveness
What if I am finally livin'
I ain't got nothin' that's too fancy
But I got a life that I call mine

I try my best
Even when I fall
'Cause I know I could have it all
Cause I already have it all

I try my best
Even when I fall
'Cause I know I could have it all
'Cause I already have it all
It was always up to me

It was always up to me
