Lissie - Story Of My Life Lyrics






Written on these walls are
the stories that I can't explain
My heart open
I'm empty for days
He tells me in the morning
he don't feel the same about me in his bones
Seems to me that when I die
these words there will be written on my stone

I'll be gone, gone tonight
I open wide
holding on too tight
nothing in between

Story of my life
He takes me home
Drives all night to keep me warm
Cause I'm frozen
Story of my life
He gives me hope
He spends my love
Until I'm broke on inside
Story of my life

Written on these walls are colors that I can not change
My heart's open here in its cage
And in the morning I can see him in the light upon the hill
I am broken, but untamed, still

I'll be gone, gone tonight
I'm burning bright
I've been holding on too tight
Nothing in between

Story of my life
He takes me home
Drives all night to keep me warm
Cause I'm frozen
Story of my life
He gives me hope
He spends my love
Until I'm broken inside
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life

Lissie Story Of My Life Comments
  1. D.... ....

    this is just ....beautiful. the emotion in her voice makes an impact.

    D.... ....

    i listened to the original once...will never bother listening to it again.

  2. D.... G....

    I love the way she changed the lyrics to make it a reply to the other version

  3. C.... C....

    WOW! I never liked this song....UNTIL NOW.

  4. c.... ....

    🖤🖤🖤

  5. J.... Z....

    Das Lied kann ja sogar meine Oma besser singen als du.
    Das hört sich einfach nur schrecklich an

  6. S.... C....

    Love Lissie and I love how she takes her time, tells the story and feels it all the way in. So expressive.! Just gorgeous

  7. M.... R....

    she could sing me an excerpt of Keeping up with the Kardashians and it would make it tolerable. great singer.

  8. d.... c....

  10. D.... B....

    just the way it should be

  11. C.... W....

    this is what one might call melodramatic, and in some way never able to forge a connection with the viewer. A string of covers all sung in this way leaves me cold as a razor blade

  12. K.... K....

  50. M.... E....

    So much passion, love her.

  51. J.... ....

    please do the Social Distortion one!

  52. T.... P....

    And i thought the song WAS bad before

    T.... P....

    You're just a ray of sunshine aren't you

  53. A.... D....

    I feel like this is such a laid back cover, perfect for that Sunday morning vibe as you prepare your breakfast while the sun shines on you.

  54. j.... ....

    wow is there any song that Lissie can't sing well and make her own? freaking amazing!

    j.... ....

    Well yes! Metallicas nothing else Matters is one of them

    j.... ....

    I guess that's a matter of opinion :P

  55. T.... ....

    Damn this band has chill ass vibes bro

  56. M.... F....

    I LOVE YOU LISSIE! Love from Egypt.

  57. S.... F....

    Congrats. You got me to like a song by a boy band.

  58. G.... M....

    Turn the speed to 1.25 <3

    G.... M....

    you! :D

  59. M.... A....

    Vocals with feeling, heart and meaning - that's what Lissie does! xx

  60. C.... S....

    So much better than 1Ds original version! The continuous riff and how it has been slowed down is amazing, can't stop listening to this. The singing expression is just fantastic.

  61. M.... J....

    Amazing

  62. G.... W....

    I got a Janis Joplin/Stevie Nicks/Alanis Morissette feeling from this.

    G.... W....

    That and Tracey Chapman.

  63. A.... ....

    1D's version has no feeling .. I like this one

  64. B.... I....

    loved it!!!!!

  65. T.... B....

    You seriously made this song a zillion times better..

  66. M.... N....

    who's One Direction? why ppl compares Lissie with him/her ?

  67. T.... M....

    Your voice is beyond spectacular! I love that you can take a song that I can't stand and turn it into something beautiful and meaningful. (1d & lady gaga)

  68. s.... g....

    Beautiful

  69. n.... l....

    This is a fucking deppresive cover

  70. M.... ....

    It's a cover folks. That means nothing but the words have to match the original. It may sound better than the original. Or worse. That's something everyone can make their own decision about. Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing.

  71. B.... T....

    A million times better than the original, imo

    B.... T....

    how could it be better when she copy it exactly

    B.... T....

    +Brandon Wee
    Exactly ? You don't have any ears...

    B.... T....

    +Brandon Wee it's so much better, the song has been slowed down and the continuous riff is fantastic you can actually feel the soul in the music compared to 1Ds computerised sounding beat version. I can't stop listening to this version, the singing expression just amazing.

    B.... T....

    +Brandon Wee Not really. She took out and changed most of the song. The tune is very different and this is much slower than the original. She has done a wonderful job making the piece her own.

    B.... T....

    @Brandon Wee How she copy it "exactly"? Listen again.

  72. R.... H....

    GREAT SONG!

  73. A.... K....

    Lissie also does such magic with her covers. The song feels totally different and so much more powerful for it too me. 

  74. J.... S....

    Amazing

  75. f.... m....

    this is so good god

  76. L.... G....

    Please sing with Matthew Mayfield.

  77. s.... ....

    This is just wonderful. Now I am no One Direction fan but I do think Story Of My Life is one of their better songs but I do think it's too upbeat for the lyrics they sing. I love the lyrics to this by the way, does anyone know if One Direction wrote them or someone else? Lissie has taken this song, understood the lyrics, and made something quite haunting and beautiful.

  78. J.... M....

    I'm literally crying right now. She draws you in and takes you with her through every emotion captured in this already beautiful song. Strong, vulnerable, hopeful, hopeless, passionate. Right there with her. I'm really loving her!

    J.... M....

    Jenifer Mattock wish I’d seen your comment first as that’s exactly what happened.now I’m at the top of the pile.

    J.... M....

    I'm really loving your comment!

  79. A.... ....

    I don't really listen to One Direction, but you can't really compare the two styles they seem completely different, at least of what I have heard from One Direction. It's better if you prefer it but you can't say one is definitely the best. She chose to do the cover because she most likely respected it stylistically. 

  80. D.... A....

    Okay it sounds great but it's DEFINITELY NOT better than 1D. Stfu.

    D.... A....

    Disagree

    D.... A....

    +which way of life ? well u can compare will smith to ewan McGregor will smith is better

    D.... A....

    The original is not good in the first place

  81. M.... ....

    this song, in my opinion, is very touching and when 1D sing it live it's always somehow lacking emotions. This, on the other hand it's how it is meant to be sang. 

  82. C.... R....

    Very Good ! really better then the original.

  83. m.... ....

    Damn... Her voice just gives me chills... She seems to put all she has behind that voice.. cover or not its better and I love it!! Great job!!!

  84. a.... l....

    I live in the quad cities and my aunt knows you father:) so kind of cool!! Your now such an insperation to me!! You are so amazing!!

  85. I.... S....

    This song actually has meaning now

  86. K.... M....

    Her voice stabs me in the heart - in a good way. Stabbed with beauty! 

  87. T.... F....

    She is amazing, she's like a young Stevie Nick or Bonnie Ratt.

  88. D.... W....

    THIS, is how it should be sung. Wonderful!!!!

  89. s.... ....

     Think about all the boy bands and how many of the boys ever made it outside the machine. Bobby Brown & Justtin Timberlake. Not very good odds, that's for a very good reason. They are were only role players not Artist.

  90. s.... ....

     Why do a cover from a crappy band who could never write their own songs? Sorry, it makes no sense. Concentrate on your OWN great songs. Forget the pressure to fit in!!! I am only saying this because your own songs are much better.

    s.... ....

    she already writes her on songs, sometimes it's fun to play other people's music :)

    s.... ....

    Understood, Yet cover a worthwhile song.

    s.... ....

    1D wrote this song though... just saying

    s.... ....

    @sleepfan agreed but Lissie and band yet again proving their brilliance.

  91. E.... H....

    Ohhhhhh  Love this song.  She is great!!!  Goose bumps!

  92. q.... ....

    I fly high with her voice

  93. K.... 2....

    Sing it bay bay!! :)

  94. R.... K....

    superb.
