Backstreet Boys - Story Of My Life Lyrics






[Howie]
So staring at the wall
Feeling ten feet small
It's like the world is on your shoulders
Now nothing's making sense
You just wanna quit
You runaway but you just don't know
How to feel what is real
You're not alone

[Chorus]
Everybody falls, everybody cries
Everybody feels like a nobody sometimes
You get up again, give it one more try
Everybody's got what it takes on the inside
Story of your life, story of your life
It's the story of my life

[Nick]
Then, sometimes you got to crawl
Before you start to walk
I'll be there
I've had my rainy days
You try to keep up a smile
You go the extra mile
You run the race no matter where your place
You know which way to go so turn the page

[Chorus]
Everybody falls, everybody cries
Everybody feels like a nobody sometimes
You get up again, give it one more try
Everybody's got what it takes on the inside
Story of your life, story of your life
It's the story of my life

[Brian]
It's hard to be strong
No right seems wrong
And nobody hears what you say
So don't be afraid
Hold on to your faith
I swear to you there will be better days

[Nick]
So staring at the wall
Feeling ten feet small
It's like the world is on your shoulders

[Chorus]
Everybody falls, everybody cries
Everybody feels like a nobody sometimes
You get up again, give it one more try
Everybody's got what it takes on the inside

Everybody falls (Everybody falls), everybody cries (everybody cries)
Everybody feels like a nobody sometimes
You get up again, give it one more try
Everybody's got what it takes on the inside
Story of your life, story of your life
It's the story of my life

  1. B.... G....

    this a great song when your feeling down and builds you right up slowly.

  2. M.... N....

    Why do I get the feeling this was inspired by Nick and AJ's battle with addiction?

  3. M.... N....

    I love when they go inspirational.

  4. K.... N....

    Music is my power

  5. a.... B....

    this song is perfection

  6. B.... b....

  10. J.... ....

    1 D Story of my Life is better

    J.... ....

    Jesse Tuominen LOL Okay, whatever you say. Enjoy your delusion.

    J.... ....

    @Victoria Innes WHAT LOL. You stupid xD

    J.... ....

    Jesse fight me 🙄

    J.... ....

    Jesse it’s not cool to call people stupid.respect her opinion. also 1D is nothing compared to BSB where is 1D now... and where’s bsb MAKING VEGAS HEADLINERS AND PREPPING FOR A WORLD TOUR BABY!!

  11. r.... f....

    los sigo desde 1992 tengo 34 y los amos como el primer dia a mis queridos backstreetboys

  12. F.... x....

    It it weird that when I am sad I listen to this song even when I am in class and people is like why she listening to music but the teacher knows this song helps me so she lets me listen to it

  13. E.... R....

    I like this song. It's so cool!

  14. i.... ....

    BSB's (over 50) unreleased songs and bonus track songs over the years are some of their best stuff compare to some songs in their actual album. Wish they just sell their unreleased songs individually on iTunes or an BSB's unreleased album. We can only dream.

    i.... ....

    iGaara19 Nick Carter told his fans in Brazil that someday in the future they will release these unreleased songs.

    i.... ....

  15. M.... M....

    I love how scary true the song lyrics are for this song! I love this song!

  16. P.... B....

    Love this song!! It really lift my spirits up!! God bless the Backstreet Boys!!

    P.... B....

    +Paige Boehm:it's probably because the song lyrics are true since everybody falls,everybody cries,everybody at one point in their life feels like a nobody sometimes. It's just how the world works and it's actually kind of scary awesome how bsb have songs that actually apply to real life.

  17. S.... S....

    Between the BSB and Justin Bieber for As Long As You Love Me BACKSTREET BOYS WIN!
    Between One Direction and BSB for Story Of My Life
    BACKSTREET BOYS WIN!!
    I LOVE THESE GUYS!! 😄😄😍

    S.... S....

    One Direction has ripped them off on multiple occasions.

    S.... S....

    +Jonathan Sim: Magic yesss!!!!!i agree!!!

    S.... S....

    BSB is my favorite boy band!! They are my first!!

    S.... S....

    Jonathan Sim: Magic:first no they didn't .o town has a song that has a song that the beginning sounds similar to bsb's drowning called all or nothing. I pretty sure one direction doesn't know who bsb is. So how could they rip them off?

  18. K.... S....

    Awesome ,perfect 😍🙋

  19. C.... S....

    Thanks for share this an amazing song!

  20. S.... B....

    812 likes?! only?! nd for all tht crap millions of em... #BSB living legends

  21. R.... G....

    I just love these guys with my life, I breathe BSB, for me, literally there's no one else 😍

  22. R.... K....

    best song ever you are right one direction copies a lot of songs from the backstreet boys last year i went to california to see BSB it was epic

  23. S.... A....

    One of my favourite. .

  24. H.... M....

    do you guys know one direction completely ripped of this song they also have a song called story of my life.

    H.... M....

    ^uh I would not say one direction ripped of bsb's version of the song I would not say they even copied it since bsb and one direction have totally different lyrics and completely different versions of the song I think bsb and one direction having a song with the same name but completely different lyrics happened by accident it happens I've seen it before.

  25. H.... K....

    Lovely guy singer. This is song my forever happy Dreaming...

  26. s.... c....

    I wrote this song for the boys

    s.... c....

    hahahaha really! you!!

    s.... c....

    I wrote the title

  27. a.... a....

     just get up again & give it one more try............

  28. M.... C....

    It's so perfect.  I just wish that everyone had the attitude of this song in real life

  29. K.... M....

    Kristina Moeller... I couldn't have said it better. One direction steals 90% of their song titles from BsB, and CLEARLY BSB is 100x better than them.

    K.... M....

    +Kel Mur very cool, I'm sure you had a great time. Where abouts around the world are you from!?

    K.... M....

    +Solidwolf34 haha thanks, it's my running playlist. mostly country and backstreet boys. but, I'm from the U.S. wby?

    K.... M....

    +Kel Mur I'm from Michigan!

    K.... M....

    Thats awesome! Im from Ky/OH

    K.... M....

    I wouldn't really say steal that be like saying o towns song all or nothing is copying bsb's song drowning two songs that have similar beginnings but the middle and end are completely different

  30. K.... m....

    Bands need stop ripping off songs by these guys because they don't compare and won't ever compare to theses guys KTBSPA 

    K.... m....

    *cough cough* One Direction *barf barf*

    K.... m....

    @Kristina moeller OK first i don't mean to be rude .. but did you ever looked at the date of this Vid it's 2010 and clearly this song before that :) and 1D their song on 2013 :D .. so here we go .. and if you don't know that some songs 1d sang their titles just like Backstreet boys songs that BSB sang it way too long :) :) .. I don't hate 1d I listen to them but we must say the truth no matter what ;) .. #respect :D

  31. R.... C....

    Is a beautiful song

  32. T.... M....

    They harmonize so perfectly!

  33. C.... P....

    One direction ripped off from BSB again.

    C.... P....

    What the heck? No they didn't bsb and one direction have totally different lyrics to their songs it was probably just an accident that they ended up with the same name but the two songs are nothing alike. One direction's version seems to be more for families or couples while bsb's version is for everyone in the world huge difference!

    C.... P....

    +AnnaStella 97:plus even if the two songs have the same name the lyrics are completely different also one directions version seems be to more for families or couples while bsb's version is for everybody in the world. And one direction's version seems a lot sadder since a tombstone gets mentioned.

    C.... P....

    @Alexis Irwin Aj also told that 1D steals their song name either from their song titles or a line of their song like 1d's more than this and BSB's more than that also tell me a lie and BSb's iconic line tell me why from I want it that way. And if you dont believe me search this video 1d ripping off the backstreet boys bt the youtuber tmz
    P.S story of my life is a direct copy.

    C.... P....

    @Rafiqul Alam if it was a direct copy, BSB would have sued 1D by now! But they didn't. Why? BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT SOUNDS AND DIFFERENT LYRICS. The songs have different meanings anyway, so your argument is invalid lmao

    C.... P....

    Why do some BSB fans go after 1D fans??? I for one would like to know because I'm in both fandoms and I don't go attacking anyone else...smdh😒

  34. m.... b....

    Another ONE Great song from BSB! :) I've known this song just last yr, & wasn't sure when this was released, but this inspires me since I heard this ^_^ #BSBforLife #KTBSPA

    I just got a C+ on my first Chemisty Long Exam.And I'm majoring in it. I was planning to shift out of the course, and then I listened to this song. I cried while doing so. I pondered about things, and I realized getting a C+ wasn't really bad, I can always improve and get an A next time. And who knows, maybe that would be the first and last time I'd ever be getting a C+. BSB, thank you. <3

  58. s.... k....

    zabardust

  59. m.... c....

    whatever happens to your life just keep on going coz that's what life is
    if you fall be sure to stand up and fight

  60. S.... B....

    this songs meaning, is telling people to get back up if they fall, to have faith in theirself, and to be strong no matter what happens.. even if your having a hard rough day, or a heartbreak, it tells you not to give up, stay strong and keep your head held high

  61. A.... R....

    Everybody has his/her own story...two thumbs up BSB...BSB ROCKS!

  62. t.... ....

    Man i love this song so much i think im going to cry

  63. t.... ....

    I love the chorus: Everybody falls, everybody cries, everybody feels like a nobody sometimes. You get up again, give it one more try. Everybody's got what it takes on the inside. Story of your life, story of your life. It's the story of my life

  64. M.... A....

    WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS SONG UNTIL NOW! I thought I had heard them all and this happens! Best day EVER!

  65. A.... ....

    Im a rock, alternative, hardcore music fan but i have great respect for this soulful song from these guys.. their music is different but still it has strong sense and meaning to us all..

  66. P.... G....

    This song makes you realize that everybody feels upset or miserable sometimes and they all can overcome it. You're not different from them, so you can do it too.
    I think listening to "Story of my life" shows you the way to feel better again, and that is what I really love about the song.
    Thank you all for watching =)

    P.... G....

    Patricia Gr yeah 1D has same

  67. J.... S....
