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
