Pentimento sink or swim

Select language to translate this lyric

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.
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.
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.
Maybe I'm everything I hate.
I guess I'm everything I hate.
I became everything I hate.
I'm simply everything I hate.
O, God - I'm everything I hate.
