Ella Mai Sink Or Swim
[Verse 1]
Feel like I done run out of my luck
Damn, this love shit one hell of a drug
I been trippin', deep down in my feelings
Tryna turn your house to my home
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, what's up? Feelin' rushed?
Did I call at a bad time?
Yeah, I can tell in your tone you're ashamed, tellin' more lies
I been up all night at home, tell me where you been
Never thought I'd be the one who be callin' friends
But I guess it's true, I'm stuck on you
Don't know what to do
[Chorus]
I'm goin' down, down
I can't get up (I can't get up)
You be the reason why I never give my trust
And it hurts so bad
Tell me how to stand whеn the tide comes in
I'm tryin', but it's hard
Lovе is sink or swim
I'm goin' down, down
I can't get up (I can't get up)
You 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 tryin', but it's hard
Love is sink or swim
[Verse 2]
It's sink or swim
Emotions, they all in the wind
I won't pretend, you can't even trust your friends
Could've did it, but never did it
Boy, seems like you love doin' me wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, what's up? Feelin' rushed?
Did I call at a bad time?
Yeah, I can tell in your tone you're ashamed, tellin' more lies
I been up all night at home, tell me where you been
Never thought I'd be the one who be callin' friends
But I guess it's true, I'm stuck on you
Don't know what to do
[Chorus]
I'm goin' down, down
I can't get up (I can't get up)
You 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 tryin', but it's hard
Love is sink or swim
I'm goin' down, down
I can't get up (I can't get up)
You 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 tryin', but it's hard
Love is sink or swim
[Bridge]
You don't understand what my mind's thinkin'
Tell me that I'm crazy, tell me that I'm trippin'
Tears in my eyes, what am I missin'?
Used to be the one that you wanted, oh, damn
Got me singin' this song since you left me alone
You just do what you want and I'll try to move on
Pain in my heart, I'm takin' a loss
Boy, your love cost too much
And I'm broken
[Chorus]
I'm goin' down, down
I can't get up (I can't get up)
You 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 tryin', but it's hard
Love is sink or swim (Sink or swim)
I'm goin' down, down
I can't get up (I can't get up)
You be the reason why I never give my trust (The reason, the reason, the reason)
And it hurts so bad
Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in
I'm tryin', but it's hard
Love is sink or swim
[Outro: Mary J. Blige]
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
Guard that heart
