Sink or Swim

You couldn't stop me
You couldn't hold me back in time
For long enough, I've floated
Been waiting for the tide
To come and wash me up
Ashore where I can find
That you're the one that let me blind

I'm so sick of wasting time
We could have had it all, but had none of it
Have we been chasing shadows all the while?
The bridges we left behind
Are now burning up because of it
And I know that a flood is on the rise

Troubled in your waters
I'm drowning in your current
Every inch of me is screaming, "Sink or swim"
'Cause I can't hold my breath any longer
I had to get out for my own good
Troubled in your waters
I'm drowning in your current
Every inch of me is screaming, "Sink or swim"

Remember you told me
Don't be afraid to take a dive
You can always come back up again
But then you changed your mind
'Cause you tried to hold me down (hold me down)
And when water filled my lungs, I thought
I should have seen the warning signs

I'm so sick of wasting time
We could have had it all, but had none of it
Have we been chasing shadows all the while?
The bridges we left behind
Are now burning up because of it
And I know that a flood is on the rise

Troubled in your waters
I'm drowning in your current
Every inch of me is screaming, "Sink or swim"
'Cause I can't hold my breath any longer
I had to get out for my own good (my own good)
Troubled in your waters
I'm drowning in your current
Every inch of me is screaming, "Sink or swim"

You're not the only one who's reaching
Swimming in the deep end
Barely afloat
Only without you, I can rebuild
Sorry, I can't keep on giving you rope

Troubled in your waters
I'm drowning in your current
Every inch of me is screaming, "Sink or swim"
'Cause I can't hold my breath any longer
I had to get out for my own good (my own good)
Troubled in your waters
I'm drowning in your current
Every inch of me is screaming, "Sink or swim"
