Story of My LIfe
BEN & TAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time has left me blind
The truth conceals the fate
It's never too late
I can't take it on my own
I can't handle it when I'm all alone
So place your bets
When the time is right to be placed with my regrets
I want to let go
As you're looking down
I never said goodbye
With the demise of a life
I can't take it on my own
I can't handle it when I'm all alone
So place your bets
When the time is right to be placed with my regrets
It's the story of my life
I can't take it on my own
I can't handle it when I'm all alone
So place your bets
When the time is right to be placed with my regrets
It's the story of my life
Where did all the time go?
This time has left me blind
The lyrics to BEN & TAN's song "Story of my Life" tell a story of regret and loss. The singer reflects on the time that has passed, feeling as though it has left them blind to the truth of their situation.

The repetition of the lines "I can't take it on my own, I can't handle it when I'm all alone," emphasizes the feelings of loneliness and despair the singer is experiencing. They want to let go of their pain but feel trapped in their own sorrow. The lines "With the demise of a life, I never said goodbye" suggest that there may have been a death or loss in the singer's life that they didn't have a chance to say farewell to.

[Verse 1: Ben, Tan]
I was six feet under for the one and only
Spent the nights feeling bitter, sad and lonely
Didn't realize how much fear controlled me
Until you came and loved me like I'm holy
Now I'm ready to give life one more chance
[Chorus: Ben, Tan, Both]
Think my heart is beating me to death
I have got an arrow through my chest
I am so in love, I must confess
Say yes, say yes, say yes
Think my heart is beating me to death
I have got an arrow through my chest
I am so in love, I must confess
Say yes, say yes
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2: Ben, Tan, Both]
Never thought I would be high on life but sober
Didn't think that I'd be able to turn this over
Let's make stories to talk about when we're older
Come and rest your pretty head upon my shoulder
Now I'm ready to give life one more chance
[Chorus: Ben, Tan, Both]
I think my heart is beating me to death
I have got an arrow through my chest
I am so in love, I must confess
Say yes, say yes, say yes
I think my heart is beating me to death
I have got an arrow through my chest
I am so in love, I must confess
Say yes, say yes
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say yes, say yes, say yes
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge: Ben, Tan, Both]
Let's make stories to talk about when we're older (Hmm)
Come and rest your pretty head up on my shoulder
Ooh, ooh, oh
Say yes, say yes (Say yes)
[Chorus: Ben, Both]
I think my heart is beating me to death
I have got an arrow through my chest
I am so in love, I must confess
Say yes, say yes, say yes (Say yes)
I think my heart is beating me to death
I have got an arrow through my chest
I am so in love, I must confess
Say yes, say yes
[Outro: Both]
I think my heart is beating me to death
I have got an arrow through my chest
I am so in love, so just say yes
