Sink or Swim

You tried to cut me down, you tried to make me ashamed But I held my head up I wasn't playing your game Yeah you made me feel stupid, but only for a short while So no more excuses I'm leaving you and here's how Stepping into the quicksand, gonna sink or swim Gonna show what I'm made of, make a memory of him Gonna run through the fire, gonna ride out the storm You know I'll never back down, I'm standing my ground He got no power no more You tried to make me feel bad, but I won't let you no more And I done my time crying, it's time to settle the score Better make my mind up fast or I'll be losing again Ain't gonna run for cover this time gonna show you I can Stepping into the quicksand, gonna sink or swim Gonna show what I'm made of, make a memory of him Gonna run through the fire, gonna ride out the storm You know I'll never back down, I'm standing my ground He got no power no more Broken bits of my body, well I can deal with the pain When I looked at the pieces, I felt nothing but shame But all of this suffering it helped me grow strong I remembered the woman I was, and I'm bringing her home Stepping into the quicksand, gonna sink or swim Gonna show what I'm made of, make a memory of him Gonna run through the fire, gonna ride out the storm You know I'll never back down, I'm standing my ground He got no power no more Stepping into the quicksand, time to sink or swim Gonna show what I'm made of, make a memory of him Watch me run through the fire Watch me ride out the storm You know I'll never back down I'm standing my ground He got no power no more You know I'll never back down I'm standing my ground He got no power no more You know I'll never back down I'm standing my ground He got no power no more
