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
