I´m the living result
I´m a man who´s been hurt a little too much
Now 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
