Falling Down
Ray Cappo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I can't taste
The war that I've been fighting
Start to fall
But I'm still standing here
Behind the wall of dying flame

I can't forget
The fight is growing stronger
Face to face
With hopes of longer days
To feel something we should save

I stand alone I'm on my own
My hands will bleed
I'm holding on to what is gone
What's left of me?

I'm falling down

But I should find my strength in this
A light
The push to reconnect my heart
For what it's meant to give

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed
I'm holding on
To what is gone
What's left of me?

Walk
Fall
Stand again so I can
Walk
Fall
Stand again so I can
Walk
Fall
Stand again so I can

Fall

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed
I'm holding on




To what is gone
What's left of me?
