Story of My Life
Kurt Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
It 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've 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 my life
I give her hope i spend her love
Until she's broke inside
The story of my life
Written on these walls are the
Colours that I can't change
Leave my heart open
But it stays right here in it's cage
I know that in the morning, now
I'll see us in the light up on the 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've 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 my life
I give her hope i spend her love
Until she's broke inside
The story of my life
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
I spend her love until she's broke inside
The story of my life the story of my life
The story of my life (The story of my life)
The lyrics of "Story of My Life" by Kurt Hugo convey a sense of longing, heartbreak, and perseverance. The first verse talks about the stories that the singer cannot explain, written within the walls. It suggests a past filled with unresolved emotions and experiences. The singer leaves their heart open for love, but it remains empty for days, indicating a sense of loneliness and lack of reciprocation.
The second verse introduces the theme of change and acceptance. The colors written on the walls symbolize the past experiences that cannot be altered. The heart stays in its cage, suggesting that despite being broken, it remains strong and untouched by the outside world. The line about seeing "us in the light up on the hill" implies the hope for reconciliation and a brighter future, even in the midst of brokenness.
The chorus repeats the phrase "the story of my life" as a reflection of the overall theme of the song. The singer drives all night to keep their loved one warm, showing their dedication and willingness to go to great lengths for the relationship. However, it also acknowledges that time seems frozen, hinting at the stagnation or unchanging nature of their situation. The lyrics portray a self-sacrificing love, as the singer gives hope and spends love until their partner is "broke inside".
In the bridge, the singer expresses their anticipation for a time of change and growth, yet acknowledges the difficulty in pursuing someone who is elusive, comparing it to chasing the clouds. It reflects the frustration of chasing after someone who may be uncertain or not fully committed.
Overall, "Story of My Life" captures the bittersweet essence of a relationship filled with longing, heartbreak, and the unyielding hope for a brighter and more fulfilling future.

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
It 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 holdin' 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)
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've been holdin' on so tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life, I'll 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've 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

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 broken 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

Individually, they are good artists, but together, they are phenomenal. I have chills go up my spine listening to this, and I honestly don't even care for One Direction. However, this cover is fantastic and I've had it on repeat for days.
