Sink or Swim

[Verse] I fall too easy It's a bad habit I can't break They love to see me crash and burn My heart at stake Ohhh-ohhoo I sink too quickly Can't seem to stay afloat I can't save myself until it's too late Life's cruel joke [Verse 2] I try to resist But their charm pulls me in I can't escape their web of deceit Their wicked grin But I'm learning my lesson Gotta rise above No more giving my heart away It's time I toughen up [Chorus] Sink or swim I won't let them see me drown I'll fight my way back up Won't let them keep me down Sink or swim I'll learn to protect my heart I won't let their games tear me apart (ohhh-ohhoo) [Verse] My heart is bruised and battered from the war I call love I'm holding on by a string They're trying to cut me loose (ohh-ohhoo) But I won't let them break me I won't give up the fight I'll rise above the chaos and find my guiding light [Chorus] Sink or swim I won't let them see me drown I'll fight my way back up Won't let them keep me down Sink or swim I'll learn to protect my heart Their games won't tear me apart (Ohhh-ohhoo) [Verse] They try to drag me under To watch me lose my way But I'll keep pushing forward Won't let their darkness sway In the depths of their deception I'll find my own truth And rise above the ashes Stronger than I ever knew [Verse] They try to drag me under To watch me lose my way But I'll keep pushing forward Won't let their darkness sway [Chorus] I'm gonna rise above (ooh-yeah) Spread my wings and fly (spread my wings and fly) I'll shine through the darkness (shine through the darkness) Reach the stars up high (reach the stars up high) [synth build-up] [heavy bass drop] [bass and drum solo] ohhhhh-ohhhoohoo [ending]
