I´m the living result
I´m a man who´s been hurt a little too much
and I´ve tasted the bitterness of my own tears
sadness is all my lonely heart can feel

I can´t stand up for falling down
I can´t stand up for falling down

simple though love is
still it confused me
why I´m not loved the way I should be
now I´ve lived with heartaches
and I´ve roomed with fear
I´ve dealt with despair
and I´ve wrestled with tears

I can´t stand up for falling down
I can´t stand up for falling down

the vow that we made
you broke it in two
but that don´t stop me from loving you

I can´t stand up for falling down
I can´t stand up for falling down
