Story of My Life Lyrics

[Intro: Rich Cronin]
Nothin seems to bring me back to you, no matter what I do (no matter what you do)
I had my chance but the took it all away
Now I don't know what to do

[Verse 1: Rich Cronin]
They say hindsight is 20/20 and that's plenty good advice
'Cause in time we all roll dice
When I was 15, I fell in love with that noise on the radio
It drove me crazy though course i knew i didn't have a chance
I'd make it one day no matter what the circumstance
'Cause I just couldn't say no
Crumpled up paper on my bedroom floor song after song
Lyric after lyric, can someone tell me how the hell I got here?

[Chorus: Melissa Holland]
So here's the story of your life
Paint a picture in black and white
Never thought that I'd bring you here
Now everything seems so clear
And oh, long time and a lot of advice
But then you realize people aren't so nice
Oh living life's a struggle babe
But if you look on the bright side

[Post-Chorus: Rich Cronin]
Nothin' seems to bring me back to you, no matter what I do (no matter what you do)
I had my chance but they took it all away
Now I don't know what to do
[Verse 2: Rich Cronin with Melissa Holland]
Now I'm driving down Route 3, back to the grill again
Off to the studio, gotta get my fill again
Nowadays live is way more tough
I did all that I could do but it wasn't enough
I went down to Orlando and I never looked back
Met a few thieves and they took me off track
I saw things that you wouldn't believe
And when the money's gone, they told me to leave
I met a girl and broke her heart
Just a day in the life of an ex-pop star
And then they said that I might not live
Damn, something's gotta give

[Chorus: Melissa Holland]
So here's the story of your life
Paint a picture in black and white
Never thought that I'd bring you here
Now everything seems so clear
And oh, long time and a lot of advice
But then you realize people aren't so nice
Oh living life's a struggle babe
But if you look on the bright side

[Post-Chorus: Rich Cronin]
Nothin seems to bring me back to you, no matter what I do (no matter what you do)
I had my chance but they took it all away
Now I don't know what to do
[Chorus: Melissa Holland]
So here's the story of your life
Paint a picture in black and white
Never thought that I'd bring you here
Now everything seems so clear
And oh, long time and a lot of advice
But then you realize people aren't so nice
Oh living life's a struggle babe
But if you look on the bright side
So here's the story of your life
Paint a picture in black and white
Never thought that I'd bring you here
Now everything seems so clear
And oh, long time and a lot of advice
But then you realize people aren't so nice
Oh living life's a struggle babe
But if you look on the bright side

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
