Story Of My Life by One Direction Video, Lyrics & Review

Lyrics

"Story Of My Life"

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I been holding on too tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time... is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I been holding on so tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time... is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

And I been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love
Until she's broke (until she's broke inside)
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life 

Review

 The follow-up to the rock-tastic "Best Song Ever" begins with little more a few careful acoustic plucks and overarching vocals that gently convey a broken heart. Soon, "Story Of My Life" picks up with a steady drum pattern and space-filling backing vocals that recall the folky chants of none other than Mumford & Sons.

"Story Of My Life" premiered on Friday (Oct. 25), one month before "Midnight Memories" hits retailers on Nov. 25. Earlier this month, the 1D guys released the mature "Midnight Memories" album artwork as well as the 14-song track list; "Best Song Ever," which peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart, will lead the follow-up to last year's "Take Me Home."

Two days before the album release, One Direction will host "1D Day," a seven-hour live stream broadcast connecting the superstar boy band with fans across the globe. Expect some entertaining stories aside from "Story Of My Life" during the seven-hour event.
