Sink or Swim - Pentimento

I am an inconvenient thing

Able to see the good in everything else but myself

I’d do my best to explain If I had something that was clever to say But I don’t.

And I can’t

So do I sink or swim?

I’m drowning in the «what ifs» and «could have beens»

I’m not good enough for myself, let alone anyone else

And that’s just the way it is

Yeah

And I’m still alone the way I was a year ago

But it’s better the devil you know instead of the devil you don’t.

And I’m still alone the way I was a year ago

But it’s better the devil you know, you know than the devil

You don’t

Than the devil you don’t

So do I sink or swim?

I’m drowning in the «what ifs» and «could have beens»

I’m not good enough for myself, let alone anyone else

And that’s just the way it is.

Yeah

So I’ll just waste away

And worry about everything I cannot change

Maybe I’m everything I hate

So I’ll just waste away

And worry about everything I cannot change

So do I sink or swim?

I’m drowning in the «what ifs» and «could have beens»

I’m not good enough for myself, let alone anyone else

And that’s just the way it is.

Yeah

Maybe I’m everything I hate

Yeah I guess I’m everything I hate

Yeah I became everything I hate

Yeah I’m simply everything I hate

Yeah O, God — I’m everything I hate

Yeah
