That Was Just Your Life Lyrics - Metallica

1 Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat

2 Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver’s seat

3 Like a face that learns to speak

4 When all it knew was how to bite

5 Like a misery that keeps me focused through I've gone astray

6 Like an endless nightmare that I must awaken from each day

7 Like conviction... A premonition

8 Not worthy of, so I deny... I deny

9 I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place

10 I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace

11 I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by

12 I open just in time to say goodbye

13 Almost like your life

14 Almost like your endless fight

15 Curse the day is long

16 Realize you don't belong

17 Disconnect somehow

18 Never stop the bleeding now

19 Almost like your fight

20 And there it went,

21 Almost like your life

22 Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think

23 Like a raging river, drowning, when I only need a drink

24 Like a poison that I swallow

25 But I want the world to die

26 Like a release from prison that I didn't know I was in

27 Like a fight to live the past,

28 I prayed to leave, from way back then

29 Like a General without a mission,

30 Until the war will start again... Start again

31 I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place

32 I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace

33 I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by

34 I open just in time to say goodbye

35 Almost like your life

36 Almost like your endless fight

37 Curse the day is long

38 Realize you don't belong

39 Disconnect somehow

40 Never stop the bleeding now

41 Almost like your fight

42 And there it went

43 Almost like your life

44 Like a touch from Hell to feel how

45 hot that it can get if you get caught

46 Like a strike from Heaven, turns that key,

47 And brings you straight down to your knees

48 Like a touch from Hell to feel how

49 hot that it can get if I get caught

50 Like a strike from Heaven, to reprieve,

51 That brings you straight down to your knees

52 Almost like your life

53 Almost like your endless fight

54 Curse the day is long

55 Realize you don't belong

56 Disconnect somehow

57 Never stop the bleeding now

58 Almost like your fight

59 And there it went

60 Almost like your life

61 That was just your life
