all my life i've been
fall fall falling apart
been tumbling down
quick fast right from the start
i never learn
just get up and go on
until i'm just knocked
right off of my feet

but it's not the fall that hurts
it's when you hit the ground
cos it's not the fall that hurts
it's when you hit the ground

stumbling with every step i take
and it seems i can't get a grip
i'm soon gonna slip
and then i look down
i see that the ground
is closing in fast again
and then boom

but it's not the fall that hurts
it's when you hit the ground
cos it's not the fall that hurts
it's when you hit the ground

fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart
fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart
fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart
fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart

(fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart)
but it's not the fall that hurts
(fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart)
it's when you hit the ground
(fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart)
cos it's not the fall that hurts
(fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart)
it's when you hit the ground

(fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart)
but it's not the fall that hurts
(fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart)
it's when you hit the ground
(fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart)
cos it's not the fall that hurts
(fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart)
it's when you hit the ground
