ELVIS COSTELLO - I Can't Stand Up For lyrics

rate me

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
