I once had the strength to keep moving on.
To keep pressing on.
To keep moving on.

I once had the strength to live through the pain
To live through the pain
To withstand the rain

And then I met you with your sharp biting tongue.
Your sharp biting tongue.
Your cruel games and fun.

So now I just feel like I keep falling down
Keep falling down.
Keep falling down.

I once had the strength to fight for what's right.
To fight for what's right.
To fight for my life.

I once had the strength to live through the cold
to live through the cold.
To not fall and grow old.

I once had the strength to go out to war.
And then there was you,
You back-stabbing whore.

So now I just feel like I keep falling down
keep falling down
Keep falling down.
