Lyrics

Sink Or Swim

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am an inconvenient thing

Able to see the good in everything else but myself

I'd do my best to explain

If I had something that was clever to say

But I don't. And I can't

So do I sink or swim?

I'm drowning in the "what ifs" and "could have beens"

I'm not good enough for myself, let alone anyone else

And that's just the way it is

Yeah

And I'm still alone the way I was a year ago

But it's better the devil you know instead of the devil you don't.

And I'm still alone the way I was a year ago

But it's better the devil you know, you know than the devil

You don't

Than the devil

You don't

So do I sink or swim?

I'm drowning in the "what ifs" and "could have beens"

I'm not good enough for myself, let alone anyone else

And that's just the way it is

Yeah

So I'll just waste away

And worry about everything I cannot change

Maybe I'm everything I hate

So I'll just waste away

And worry about everything I cannot change

So do I sink or swim?

I'm drowning in the "what ifs" and "could have beens"

I'm not good enough for myself, let alone anyone else

And that's just the way it is

Yeah

Maybe I'm everything I hate

Yeah

I guess I'm everything I hate

Yeah

I became everything I hate

Yeah

I'm simply everything I hate

Yeah

O, God, I'm everything I hate

Yeah
