"Sink Or Swim" lyrics

"Sink Or Swim"

Feel like I done run outta my luck
Damn this love shit one hell of a drug
I been tripping, deep down in my feelings
Tryna turn your house to my home

Hey, what's up, feeling rushed
Did I call at a bad time? (Yeah)
I can tell in your tone, you're ashamed
Telling more lies

I been up all night at home, tell me where you been
Never thought I'd be the one who'd be calling friends
But
I guess it's true, I'm stuck on you
Don't know what to do

I'm going down down, I can't get up
You'll be the reason why I never give my trust
And it hurts so bad
Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in
I'm trying but it's hard
Love is sink or swim
I'm going down down
I can't get up
You'll be the reason why I never give my trust
And it hurts so bad
Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in
I'm trying but it's hard
Love is sink or swim

It's sink or swim
Emotions they all in the wind
I won't pretend
You can't even trust your friends
Coulda did it, but never did it
Boy seems like you love doing me wrong

Hey, what's up, feeling rushed
Did I call at a bad time? (Yeah)
I can tell in your tone, you're ashamed
Telling more lies

I been up all night at home, tell me where you been
Never thought I'd be the one who'd be calling friends
But
I guess it's true, I'm stuck on you
Don't know what to do

I'm going down down, I can't get up
You'll be the reason why I never give my trust
And it hurts so bad
Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in
I'm trying but it's hard
Love is sink or swim
I'm going down down
I can't get up
You'll be the reason why I never give my trust
And it hurts so bad
Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in
I'm trying but it's hard
Love is sink or swim

You don't understand what my minds thinking
Tell me that I'm crazy, tell me that I'm tripping
Tears in my eyes, what am I missing?
Used to be the one that you wanted, oh damn
Got me singing this song, since you left me alone
You just do what you want, and I'll try and move on
Pain in my heart, I'm taking a loss
Boy your love cost too much
And I'm broken

I'm going down down, I can't get up
You'll be the reason why I never give my trust
And it hurts so bad
Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in
I'm trying but it's hard
Love is sink or swim
I'm going down down
I can't get up
You'll be the reason why I never give my trust
And it hurts so bad
Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in
I'm trying but it's hard
Love is sink or swim

When your heart gets broken
It seems like everything is wrong, everything is failing
You can't work, you can't sleep, you can't think, you can't eat
And it's not even you
It's this person that's not ready
And you're beautiful and you deserve better
That's my only thing I can say to you, sis
Go at that heart
