No mystery, no surprise
No hidden meaning in my eyes
You've seen it all, you've heard it all
I either stand or I fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall

You've seen my head in my hands
You've seen me cursing, losing friends
You've seen me laughing at my own mistakes
Heard me saying - again and again
Might be sinking but I won't drown
Sinking but I won't drown
Might be sinking but I won't drown
Sinking but I won't drown
Might be sinking but I won't drown
But I won't drown

No mystery, no surprise
No hidden facts between my thighs
You've seen it all, you've heard it all
I either stand or I fall
Stand or fall
Sinking but I won't drown
Stand or fall
Might be sinking but I won't drown
Stand or fall
Sinking but I won't drown
But I won't drown

But I won't drown
But I won't drown
But I won't drown
Sinking but I won't drown
Sinking but I won't drown
But I won't drown
But I won't drown
But I won't drown
But I won't drown
