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
