I was only an early twenty and already I had to drop that bottle
Broken into pieces on that old dusty alley

I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down
I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down

In that bottle all trapped with no air was all I thought I had
And all I thought I knew and maybe all I thought I deserved

I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down
I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down

I was only an early twenty and already I had walked with despair
Broken into pieces by words said and things done and battles lost

I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down
I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down, I fell down

And I fell down on my bleeding knees again
And I wept there my face soaked with my tears
And you came there and you laid face on side
Close enough to meet my eyes in the dust
And you cried with me died with me

Bled for me died for me bled for me died for me cried for me
Bled for me died with me cried with me died for me bled with me
Bled for me bled for me died with me cried for me bled with me
Died for me cried with me bled for me died for me cried with me

And you picked me up dusted off my knees
And you hung my heart to dry
And then you blew your wind all through my veins
And your life into my eyes
And I finally realized that all of this time
I had looked at my blood-soaked knees
And I had thought that blood was mine

I fell down
