I Can`t Stand Up For — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

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
