sink to swim
Rising Above: Jenna Aquino's Emotional Journey in 'Sink to Swim'
Lyrics
I don't want to be here anymore
I feel a strong desire to leave this situation or place.
Trying to clear out the cobwebs for you
I'm making efforts to clear obstacles or difficulties for someone else.
I just can't really do anything more
I've reached my limit in what I can do.
I can't try to settle this score with you
I cannot continue trying to resolve this issue with you.
'Cause I watched you make your own bed
I observed you create your own problems or difficulties.
Yeah I tried
I made an attempt.
Pulling you back out of it, now I
I tried to help you out of it, but...
I'll watch you laying in it
Now, I will witness you facing the consequences of your actions.
Till the big waves roll in
Until significant challenges or difficulties arise.
Until I lose you again
Until I lose connection with you again.
'Cause it's time to sink or to swim, now I
It's decision time whether to succumb to problems or confront them.
I fought off all the darkness for this
I fought against negativity for this.
I can't find the right words for it
I'm unable to express the exact feelings or thoughts about it.
Oh, but I'm finally out
Finally free from something.
And you're still weighing me down
You're still holding me back.
You're still weighing me down
-You're still weighing me down
-How many nights,
How many instances...
How many times can you break me?
How many times can you emotionally hurt me?
How many lines,
How many attempts...
How many tries till I shake this?
How many efforts until I overcome this?
You always claim you didn't mean it
You often claim it was unintentional.
But if this is how you love me
If this is your way of expressing love towards me,
I'll believe it
I'll accept it as true.
'Cause I watched you make your own bed
I observed you create your own problems or difficulties.
Yeah I tried
I made an attempt.
Pulling you back out of it, now I
I tried to help you out of it, but...
I'll watch you laying in it
Now, I will witness you facing the consequences of your actions.
Till the big waves roll in
Until significant challenges or difficulties arise.
Until you lose me again
Until I'm no longer connected to you.
'Cause it's time to sink or to swim, now I
It's decision time whether to succumb to problems or confront them.
I fought off all the darkness for this
I fought against negativity for this.
I can't find the right words for it
I'm unable to express the exact feelings or thoughts about it.
Oh, but I'm finally out
Finally free from something.
And you're still weighing me down
You're still holding me back.
You're still weighing me down
-You're still weighing me down
-'Cause it's time to sink or to swim
It's decision time whether to succumb to problems or confront them.
It's time to sink or to swim
-Right now I'll just let it all sink in
Currently, I'll allow everything to be absorbed.
Learn how to swim once I give in
Once I give in, I'll learn how to handle this situation.
A little bit
A small amount or degree.
Oooooo
Vocal expression indicating deep emotion or feeling.
Oooooo
-Oooooo
-Oooooo
