I Get Knocked Down But I Get Up Again Song Novels & Stories

XINCERE CALLIOPE'S POINT OF VIEWS "It is you again, crying over the same man. Do you want me to punch him a big-time?" I looked in the direction of someone who had just spoken, but I could barely hear him since my vision was too blurry as my eyes began to well with tears as I try hard to hold them back. I was kneeling again in the same chapel where I used to go. I abruptly sniffed and wiped my nose and tears on the back of my hand, and suddenly realized that my handkerchief was too wet now that I could actually squeeze it because of tears.

'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do When I pray for you Oh, when I pray for you I know you're gonna grow up some day But don't forget to take your time And take the time to call back home It ain't always gonna be easy It ain't always gonna be fair I know you ain't always gonna need me But I promise that I'll always be there I pray you love like your momma And you forgive just like she does 'Cause when this life knocks you down I hope you get down on your knees 'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do When I pray for you Oh, when I pray for you I talk to God about you When everything around me breaks I look up and hear him say Love like your momma And forgive just like she does And whe

“Siri, please sit down first. I know what you mean, and you are right, I just don’t see how we will get out of this situation, or achieve what we want without a lot of disagreements and heartaches. Maybe even disappointments that might stay with us all our life.” Siri went and sat down, hugging his Pai tight. “I know Pai. I am trying to get through this with minimum of damage as possible. I know it’s not going to be easy, but trust me when I say this is the right thing to do and this is the right time to do it.”

Moments later, the car started shaking. My knees buckled. I slid down against the glass, my heart shattering into pieces.

” Then the chorus picks up and we start jumping in place reaching for the sky. ‘I get knocked down but I get up again. You’re never going to keep me down!’ I scream the words at this point and they seem to hit me hard. It’s like a fuck you to the universe. To that man of mine that I think so badly is getting ready to screw me over. I know it’s coming like a fucking storm. But I will be ready. I have to start thinking smart. If he wants to fuck me over, well two can play that game. I continue jumping up and down with my middle finger in the air towards my husband and whatever he has planned.

He looks directly at me when he says it. The music starts. The first new song is slow. Haunting. Piano and his voice. The lyrics are about emptiness. About feeling nothing while everyone watches. The crowd is silent. Just listening. I'm shooting but also hearing every word. The second song is faster. Angry. About pushing people away to protect yourself. The third song destroys me. It's called "Three Feet." The chorus: **You're standing three feet from me / But I can't reach across / I built these walls myself / Now I'm paying the cost**

He looked at me and smiled. Wait… I knew this song. My forehead creased a little when I noticed that he changed some of the song's original lyrics. "I'll get your medicine, if your tummy aches. Build you a fire when the furnace breaks…" Damn. I used to be disgusted with love songs. But now...with Lenos’ voice gracing my ears…I felt like my heart was slowly melting. Suddenly, I've forgotten the pain in my lower body. He was looking at me straight in the eyes, his stare full of love…butterflies were all over my stomach and they were making little dances inside it. I felt like in a moment, I would melt in my seat.

Then it hit me, I may not have the words, but I know who does. I looked at my mom and said, “I will apologize in advance for what I am about to do, but Dr. Lynn says talking to Nikki could help her to wake up and I have been talking to her, but I have run out of things to say…” Mom looked at me confused but just nodded in encouragement. So I took a deep breath and began singing our song; ‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ by Andy Grammer, “…I will stay, I will stay with you. We’ll make it through the other side, like lovers do. I’ll reach my hands out in the dark, and wait for yours to interlock, I’ll wait for you Cause I’m not giving up, I’m not giving up no not yet. Even when I’m down to my last breath

Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down, down, down Don't let me down, down, down Don't let me down, down, down Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down Oh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah, yeah I need you, I need you, I need you right now Yeah, I need you right now So don't let me down I think I'm losing my mind now It's in my head, darling I hope That you'll be here when I need you the most So don't let me down Don't let me down Yeah, don't let me down Yeah, don't let me down Don't let me down, oh no

"I won't give up on us Though the skies get violent I'm giving you all my love I still look up
