I've heard this all before
Don't waste my time, don't break my balls, get out my door
You won't see me caving in
It's time I stand and show you what's making me spin

CHORUS
So if you peel away the skin
You'll find the strong survive but they can't always win
I'll stand up to the shallow end
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim
Sink or swim

Don't spell this out in tears
Don't play those games or say these names and live your fears
I told you no means no
You had your chance, you broke my heart, it's time to go

CHORUS
So if you peel away the skin
You'll find the strong survive but they can't always win
I'll stand up to the shallow end
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim

To a bitter, to a bitter end

CHORUS
So if you, you peel away the skin
You'll find the strong survive but they can't always win
I'll stand up to the shallow end
You won't see me drown if I sink or swim

Our loves come to a bitter end
I hope you drown when you sink or swim
I hope you drown when you sink or swim
Sink or swim
You sink or swim
