Ways to tell them apart:

Lifes is incorrect and is not a word, while lives is the correct form.
Remember that lifes might sound like the plural of life but it's actually not a valid word.
Lives is used as both a noun (plural of life) and a verb.
If youre talking about more than one persons existence, use lives.
For conjugating the verb related to living, lives is the proper form, such as He lives in Paris.
