I'm Down, But I Keep Falling Lyrics

Hey, fairweather friend
You know you can bend me
I don't want to break
Hey, lend me a hand
Something I can lean on
Until I'm strong enough to make it
Because I'm lost, but I'll be looking
I've been hurt, but I keep on hoping
Because I'm down, but I keep falling
Fall in love with you
Fall in love with you
Take all you can find
Any way you want to
Easy as you can
Leave something behind
Love enough to live on
Until I'm strong enough to stand it on my own
But I'll be looking
All alone, but I keep on hoping
Because I'm down, but I keep falling
Fall in love with you
Fall in love with you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
