Sink or Swim
Navigating Broken Tides: Triumph after Heartbreak
Lyrics
The last few years have been so tough
The past few years have been challenging.
I tried my best but it wasn't enough
Despite my best efforts, I couldn't overcome the difficulties.
Held back by circumstances that I could not see
I was hindered by circumstances that were not apparent to me.
Never would have guessed that you were lying to me
Unexpectedly, you were dishonest with me.
And those memories hit different when you start to see them clear
Memories become more impactful when seen with clarity.
Your truth came out and now we're here
Your true nature revealed itself, leading to our current situation.
And I've lost faith in everything I thought was true
I've lost faith in things I once believed to be true.
My heart still breaks when I think of you
Thinking of you still brings emotional pain.
Time passes on
Time continues to pass.
Now that you're gone
You are no longer present.
Broken inside but still wanting to fly, it's true
Despite being broken inside, there's a desire to soar.
I'll sink or swim
Facing a crucial decision, a metaphor for life's challenges.
I'll sink or swim without you
Independently facing challenges without your presence.
Getting better day by day
Gradually improving day by day.
Even if I fall I know I'm on my way
Even if I stumble, I know I'm progressing.
My chin held high, do or die
Maintaining resilience, ready for any outcome.
I'll speak my truth and live my life
Expressing one's truth and living authentically.
Cause you kept me treading water
You kept me in a stagnant situation.
Cast aside and lost at sea
Feeling abandoned and adrift.
Now sink or swim it's up to me
The choice to sink or swim is now mine.
Cause I've lost faith in everything I thought was true
Similar to line 7, losing faith in what was believed to be true.
My heart still breaks when I think of you
Recalling you still brings emotional pain.
Time passes on
Time continues to pass.
Now that you're gone
You are no longer present.
Broken inside but still wanting to fly, it's true
Despite inner turmoil, there's a desire for freedom.
I'll sink or swim
Facing life's challenges independently.
I'll sink or swim without you
Handling challenges without your support.
Time to initiate my fate
Initiating a change in my destiny.
Create a change in state
Taking control and creating a new situation.
No lying in wait, no dying from hate
Avoiding waiting and avoiding succumbing to hatred.
Just trying to swim straight and not show up too late
Striving to move forward without delay.
The future
The future is wide open for me.
It's open sea for me
All opportunities are mine, but I must break free from self-imposed limitations.
All mine but I gotta kick free from the riptide of my own complicity
Escaping the negative consequences of my own actions.
For setting sail with fools who fail to see the good in me
Choosing to sail away from those who fail to appreciate me.
Memories hit different when you start to see them clear
Reiterating the impact of clear perception on memories.
I never wanted to be here
Expressing a reluctance to be in the current situation.
Cause I've lost faith in everything I thought was true
Similar to lines 7 and 21, losing faith in previously held truths.
My heart still breaks when I think of you
Recalling you still brings emotional pain.
Time passes on
Time continues to pass.
Now that you're gone
You are no longer present.
Broken inside but still wanting to fly, it's true
Despite inner turmoil, there's a desire for freedom.
I'll sink or swim
Facing life's challenges independently.
I'll sink or swim without you
Handling challenges without your support.
