Memphis May Fire - That's Just Life Lyrics






I know how it feels to feel alone
The king of my own fears, I never leave the throne
And I've been searching for a place inside my soul
Where all my demons can't find me when I go
"Pull it together," they say
So I keep hoping for better days

I'd be lying if I said that I was fine
Cause I feel pain sometimes that I cannot describe
So do I raise my fist and curse up at the sky
Or do I close my eyes and realize, that's just life?

I know how it feels to lose control
The weight inside myself is not always my own
And I am broken, where I'll end up I don't know
But maybe that's the point, so I trust in you alone

I'd be lying if I said that I was fine
Cause I feel pain sometimes that I cannot describe
So do I raise my fist and curse up at the sky
Or do I close my eyes and realize, that's just life?

I'm holding onto hope as I turn the page
And I'm praying there is peace to be found in the pain
Tell me that tomorrow won't be the same
And tell me that this is just a season and my story doesn't end this way

I'd be lying if I said that I was fine
Cause I feel pain sometimes that I cannot describe
So do I raise my fists and curse up at the sky
Or do I close my eyes and realize, that's just life?

  1. W.... C....

    c'est la vie !

  2. J.... H....

    Found one of my ghost writers!!

  3. W.... M....

    Just found this song. I love it already 💙 But I kinda hate the fact that I can relate to all the lyrics. If you are reading this, you have a purpose. You deserve to live, and whatever is happening now will get better.💛💙💛💚💙💛💚

  4. A.... S....

    Love this song I relate

  5. N.... H....

    0:52 can't see but looks direct into camera👀.

  6. M.... S....

    Moral of the story? For many of us....life sucks. And our life consists of convincing ourselves there is reasons to be positive. what a bad way to live........

  7. E.... F....

    I love that a sign mentioned Multiple Sclerosis (MS) it’s a similar condition to mine. Always loved this band & im just now seeing this video & it makes me so happy I found it at the time of my life I did.

  8. 0.... ....

    I really feel bad for the guy who has suicidal thoughts everyday. I know what its like and it made me tear up a little reading that.

    0.... ....

    someone i defo relate to -_-

  9. A.... L....

    This really hit in the feels.

  10. J.... N....

    I never heard of them so I'm not tainted by " what they used to be" but this is a great song!!!

  11. A.... J....

    Great song great lyrics nice job!!! U peps rock 👍

  12. G.... S....

    Muy buen tema!

  13. A.... S....

    My late fiancé posted a screenshot from this on Instagram after he lost his grandfather, his dad, and my dog within 5 months... then he passed away about 4 months later. (Back in February) I didn’t get anything but a shirt he never wore (still had tags), and something he ordered for my son. It hurts so much, some days I just want to cry and listen to mixed cds we made together and look at photos, and it hurts so much how some people are treating me, but there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s probably weird, but I miss his scent. I miss his laugh. I miss everything. 😞 sorry just wanted to vent.

    A.... S....

    Sorry you have to go through all of that. Hang on to the memories, keep listening to music and keep your head up... one day it will be easier. You have someone who depends on you so stay strong!! 💖

  14. N.... H....

    I felt it...gives me chills!

  15. M.... S....

    This song is super under appreciated. Maybe it is not what MMF usually drops but this song is a strong message for people like myself who are suffering and find medication in music. This song actually saved my life when I was thinking about ending it all last year. I was always kinda lone wolf because of music I listened to and the way I wasn’t participating in any of activities that my peers usually were interested in. And last year I was going through depression mixed with personal problems as well as family problems and money problems while my grandma who basically raised me, while my mom was working to provide for the family, was in hospital fighting for her life and my mom getting robbed the same day. I was sitting in my room in the flat on the other side of the ocean without any chance to go back home to help my mom and mixed with all the other reasons and some alcohol I was actually ready to end it all by taking a fatal dose of medication with alcohol. But then as I was sitting and looking at the bottle of pills this song started playing. So there I was, sitting, half drunk and thinking about killing myself listening to this song. By the end of it I was crying like a little baby and I cried for couple of hours straight. But after a while things started to get better. By the middle of this year all the things were back to normal and I am extremely happy I didn’t do what I was planning to. Even to this day when I feel down - I listen to this song and it helps me a lot.

  16. 4.... B....

    I know too well

  17. C.... C....

    I'm probably being cheated on, I gave my life for someone who never cared, I'm Not Alright!!!

  18. C.... L....

    This songs hits home everytime

  19. J.... J....

    I feel this💔

  20. J.... E....

    not a gigantic fan of this band music-wise, but major respect all the way

  21. J.... C....

    When I started to see the positive messeges in the video I just broke up in tears, I been in a depression few years, my family my band is all that I have, thank you for the song. ♥️

  22. U.... A....

    Exquisite and penetrating lyrics...beautiful! Thank you, MMF!

  23. S.... B....

    This song and "The Old Me" are the best.

  24. L.... R....

    Listening to this song in general I could relate to but seeing this video and seeing what everyone in this video struggles with makes my eyes water. We all struggle with something. Be kind to everyone you come in contact with. You may be the difference.

  25. J.... K....

    Great tune good video and has a great voice/,,/

  26. S.... C....

    I just cried after seeing this video. No exaggerations. I literally cried I don't know why damn these tears. Thank you for this music. It really speaks to our souls

  27. I.... G....

    uggghhhhh all i need to here

  28. M.... k....

    Wtf? How is this song so perfect?, literally how I feel

  29. G.... W....

    I can't really begin to properly describe just how much this song means to me. The biggest thing by far is just how much the message of this song (along with the selfless support of my best friend) has helped me so much in battling my demons by reminding that I need to stop sinking into my own despair and self pity. To pick my self up, remind myself that this is just life and millions of people have problems a million times bigger than my own

  30. 5.... ....

    Memphis May Fire but without the 🔥

  31. R.... S....

    still "holdin'" on...fuckin' beautiful song.....

  32. a.... I....

    Yes tomorrow will not be the same

  33. R.... A....

  34. S.... I....

    This song is just sooo goood. Reaches my core

  35. L.... C....

    That girl who was holding up the sign that said society says she is not beautiful, she and everyone else in this video are beautiful! ❤

  36. L.... C....

    This is one of Memphis May Fires best songs, hands down. i struggle daily, but this song kept me going.

  37. Q.... O....

    I am going through hell atm with friends betraying me and lying when underneath they were fake friends and not real friends struggling with the loss and I can't describe it the pain I feel towards it and the only comfort I feel at the moment is this song on repeat it's helping heaps this song is incredible for my pain I am dealing with ATM.

  38. T.... T....

    Communist bullshit

  39. h.... ....

    Russia for it

  40. J.... H....

    Chills bro chills

  41. B.... S....

    Thank you for helping me through some of my toughest days. Without this song every day for months straight i would have let go. Still gives me chills every time i hear it/sing it.

  42. M.... O....

    Man, I just found this song and I gotta say it's very comforting, it's probably the best song I've heard in awhile.

  43. A.... S....

    This song so good. May i cover this song?.

  44. A.... S....

    May i cover this song?.

  45. E.... D....

    Você é especial para Deus!

  46. m.... r....

    I like this song very much, it really describes the everyday situation around us..👍👍👍👍

  47. P.... P....

    I was diagnosed with really really fast progressing Ankylosing Spondylitis when I was 25, I'm 33 now. I'm in so much fucking physical pain every damn day. I wake up and within 30 seconds there are tears in my damn eyes from the pain it causes to just get out of my bed and take the dog outside. I've watched my ability to just function normally as a disabled person get worse and worse every fucking day. I'm on biologics, pain meds, cbd, diets, I do yoga, I stretch, I force through my pain and it's never getting better as the doctors tell me it will. I've been waiting for this since the day I fell getting out of bed when I was 25 all those years ago for things to get better. It never has so far. It's only got worse. Extreme fucking agonizing pain every day, every night. This is my life.

  48. B.... G....

    This guy looks like he could be related to Chester. RIP Chester

  49. B.... R....

    Right in the feels.

  50. s.... g....

    Blessed and highly favored. Your faith has restored you all,made you new. Free through all time, space and dimensions, physical and metaphysical, no weapon formed against us shall prosper,in Jesus Christ Mighty Name, Amen

    s.... g....

    See. Comments like this always irritate me. And they irritate me because I'm ignorant. Because I don't understand that kind of faith in Jesus or god. Neither ones ever helped me, nor does it seem they care much about this planet so why worship them the way people do?

    This is nothing personal, mind you. So don't see this as a jab at you. It's a genuine question because through my personal experience, many "church goers" and adamant Christians are some of the most awful people and fake as a 3$ bill.

    s.... g....

    @Xceryx Demurstra I truly appreciate your honesty and the sincerity in your question... I understand your perspective, I once thought the same, truly, and many are fake but as anything else in life, can't judge every Christian for what a certain group does. I can only speak for myself and stand in my truth. As far as convincing you they are real could be quite a task... Your perspective is a huge factor,plus trying to break down your wall you have up on the subject could be all in vain, meaning... I Know you carry much pain,hurt, bitterness,ext. In your mind and heart,and it hurts... Trust me, I know,and it will make you feel that they aren't real or what have they ever done for you... I'm sorry you have delt with such heartache, truly, but they exist,just in dimensions or realms that most humans can't see. They show their selves in many ways but for example,this video... They have been where you are and feeling now and through faith, perseverance,ext. She won the battle and her fruits are clear... Because of pure love and compassion she helped and changed many lives through simple acts of kindness. This conversation is also a glimpse of the way they work, through us, meaning... Because I believe and all them to use me to carry out their will,me sincerely giving these examples and truly concerned about your struggles and trying to give you a little peace, understanding, ext. Is me allowing them to manifest love, compassion,hope inspiration,ext. Through me. I hope that helps my friend. If you ever need to vent or ask me anything,I'm here... 💯

    s.... g....

    @still good I see you're point but to me that just means you're a good person who has overcome the human nature of selfishness and greed not that it's anyone acting through you. And I'm not debating their existence. I 100% believe they exist. Just like you said in a realm of existence outside of this world. And I don't believe they care about us (humanity) the way people claim they do. I'm not looking for you to try to change my beliefs, not do I wish to change yours. I believe in letting everyone believe what they will, so long as they are good people. I don't judge others for their beliefs. If it's something that helps you to help others all the better. My main issue with most religions, not just Christians, is their thought that "this is the truth and the world must believe it" and that they judge others for not following their same beliefs. And as you also said, you're speaking from your experiences. As I am doing the same. So while I believe we could have a very interesting discussion about this topic I know neither of us has a high likelihood of changing our opinions. I just like to learn why others believe as they do because it intrigues me. Because we all believe something. Many simply because they were raised to. Others through experiences they've had. And believe by listening to others beliefs with an open mind, all parties involved can grow as people.

    s.... g....

    @Xceryx Demurstra absolutely my friend, you have a beautiful mind! The way you think and communicate is wise and rare! You are absolutely 💯 percent correct 💪. I agree with EVERYTHING you said, Literally. I don't believe in religion, categories, boxes,ext.(it's trickery that is used to mentally enslave us all,truth be told,most is divide and concor strategies). I also have a open mind and love learning and experiencing things through others perspectives. I truly appreciate and enjoyed our conversation, feel free to hit me up if ever you need to my friend. Much love and respect! 💯

    Beautiful voice and I love the riff.

  58. J.... D....

    God made us in his perfect image. The way we should be for his reasons and lessons we need to learn many out of our comprehension till our soul goes to new life. There is nothing wrong with you your perfect the way you are gb

  59. T.... W....

    What is it with people whinging!?? Seriously, just because you've "heard songs about being a victim before" you hate this? Chances are you enjoyed those "victim" songs when you were younger and you felt at least once like those songs meant something for you - but now you're priviledged enough to not feel down about things like this, you think it's cliché, stale and unoriginal and bitch about it and the band as if it's wrong? Believe it or not but music isn't actually about being original - it's music, it's entertainment. Fine, if you're not entertained, go elsewhere - but don't bitch about it being unoriginal because music doesn't have rules. But then I'm a folk musician first and foremost, not an entitled arsehole who criticises bands for doing what they want...

  60. A.... B....

    Beautiful!! ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋

  61. O.... M....

    The signs on that videos reminds me to The Color Morale

  62. Z.... M....

  74. Z.... 2....

    Watched it after watching Yousef on imPaulsive podcast. Feeling normal again. #supportmetalhealth

  75. D.... D....

    My passed experiences have ruined my relationships with people and I’m not a confident person in any way. I’ve learned to except myself now and don’t worry about what anyone thinks of me regardless whether it’s negative or positive. Peoples opinions don’t dictate my life anymore as I end up feeling depressed about being me. It’s lonely at times but I now feel better on my own than people constantly wanting my attention. I’m not the most attractive person in the world and I’m glad I’m not because I’ll stay this way for the rest of my life pretty boys and girls look good for a limited time and they forget that one day they are going to feel like how I’ve felt like so they can go screw themselves for all I care. I have no time for shallow people.

  76. L.... D....

    How does this have only 1.4 million views. Miles away acoustic version has over 12 million. This song is just as good!!!!

  77. T.... K....

    This song has so much meaning !! Truly great !

  78. S.... ....

    My pastor started a sermon series last week about this sorta stuff and so I told him about this music vid bcuz the one today had some of the same messages in this song

  79. A.... R....

    People who dont understand mental illness wont understand this video

  80. A.... R....

    maybe some of you people dont understand.... maybe most of you dont and never will. This song was meant to reach out and touch others. It was meant to inspire hope when there may be none. Cliche? Not to those of us who understand the true struggles of life. Personally i have had many and still deal with many of the same problems these people have and even if i hadn't im sure other have and this song could be the reason someone doesnt cut themselves today...doesnt think of death or a disease they suffer from and let it drain their hope.. This song is a beautiful msg to all those who need an uplifting word

  81. H.... b....

    Music is for internal and external expressions. We need the deep song just as much as we need those feel good jams. Good song. He has a great vocal. Music is a healing. Im sure it was just that for him too.

  82. R.... s....

    That's Just Life

  83. J.... G....

    Damn good song !!!!!!!!!

  84. H.... S....

    I can relate to this at every level. Thank you.

  85. B.... G....

    Seriously this song though! I love this song so much. I love this band with all my heart. Thank God for Memphis May Fire. Their music has gotten me through some of the hardest moments in my life. I am forever grateful. They have a fan for life right here.

  86. J.... G....

    This song speaks so much to me thank you so much for your awesome music Memphis may fire you rock

  87. S.... ....

    I keep coming back to this song. It's nice to have one great listen in an era of otherwise terrible music.

  88. a.... ....

    This song speaks volumes to me.... Damn made me cry.....

  89. C.... T....

    This song helped me with the lost of my cousin and grandma I just have to move on cause it’s part of life

  90. R.... K....

    People think you're weak if you're not okay.. But I say you're human and that's just life..

  91. C.... B....

    One of my favorites from MMF

  92. I.... H....

    When Matty writes something about his faith like this i always get emotional and tear up simply because I know that I am incapable of having the strength of the faith he has and I wish that I could. But that's just life.

  93. S.... G....

    I love you!

  94. X.... ....

    Cest la Ve

  95. T.... f....

    Demonic influence, mental disease, one and the same. Give it to Christ. Put down the prescriptions, put down the alcohol, it's witchcraft at it's best. Jesus name, name above all names. Deliver us Father.

  96. R.... V....

    i hate how much these guys related to everything in my life ive gone through serious crap and fought demons and still continue to fight them.....matty mullins and the guys from memphis may fire always hit topics that a lot of people avoid....i love it please keep shoving all this mental avoidance into peoples faces and make them realize that there is help out there keep up the epic music guys
