The start of the song is that "when I go down, I go down hard," and in the end comes the resolution. (Relient K)

Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
while my
ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me
reprimands
me
then and there
I confess
I'll blame all this on my
selfishness
yet you love me
and that consumes me
and I'll stand up
again
and do so willingly

You give me hope, and hope it gives me
life
you touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
as I
exhale I hear your voice
and I answer you, though I heardly make a
noise
and from my lips the words I choose to say
seem pathetic, but it's
fallen man's praise
because I love you
oh God, I love you
and life is
now worth living
if only because of you
and when they say I'm dead and
gone
it won't be further from the truth

When I go down
I life my
eyes up to you
I won't look very far
cause you'll be there
with open
arms
to lift me up again
to life me up again
