“Falling down ain't falling down,
If you don't cry when you hit the floor,
It's called the past cause I'm getting past,
And I ain't nothing like I was before,
You ought to see me now”

— Alicia Keys

“The future's mine and it's no disgrace, cos in the end the past means nothing.
I feel a little down today, and I ain't got much to say
And if I stumble, catch me when I fall / 'Cause, baby, after all / You'll never forget my name.”

Noel Gallagher (1967) British musician

I Hope, I Think, I Know
Be Here Now (1997)

“It ain't like midnight and cigarette smoke.
It ain't like watered down whiskey and coke.
I guess some things just don't mix like you hope.
Like me and you.
And diamond rings and old barstools.”

Tim McGraw (1967) American country singer

Diamond Rings and Old Barstools
Song lyrics, Sundown Heaven Town (2014)

“I'm not a princess,
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell.
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town.
I was a dreamer before
You went and let me down.
Now it's too late for you and your white horse
To come around.”

Taylor Swift (1989) American singer-songwriter

Song lyrics, Fearless (2008)

“Well I don't know why I came here tonight.
I got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs.
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.”

Gerry Rafferty (1947–2011) Scottish singer and songwriter

Stuck in the Middle with You, written with Joe Egan, from the Stealers Wheel album Stealers Wheel (1972).

when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame”

Ain't That a Shame (1955) co-written with Dave Bartholomew

“God show me the way, because the Devil's trying to break me down
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
And I don't think there's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
I wanna talk to God, but I'm afraid 'cause we ain't spoke in so long.”

Kanye West (1977) American rapper, singer and songwriter

Jesus Walks
Lyrics, The College Dropout (2004)

“Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, “I am falling to the floor crying,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn’t paint it very well.”

Richard Siken (1967) American poet

“I ain't as good as I once was
I got a few years on me now.
But there was a time back in my prime
When I could really lay it down.
And if you need some love tonight,
Then I might have just enough.
I ain't as good as I once was,
But I'm as good once as I ever was.”

Toby Keith (1961) American country music singer and actor

As Good as I Once Was, written with Scotty Emerick
Song lyrics, Honkytonk University (2005)

“Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you.
I'd do anything you want me to
I'd do anything at all.
And I'm standing here for all the world to see
There ain't that much left of me
That has very far to fall.”

Billy Joel (1949) American singer-songwriter and pianist

Shameless.
Song lyrics, Storm Front (1989)

“Falling down ain't falling down,If you don't cry when you hit the floor,It's called the past cause I'm getting past,And I ain't nothing like I was before,You ought to see me now”
