halfway to the bottom

you're either dipping your toe, or you're drowning, you're either dipping your toe, or you're drowning, is it better never to start, than to bear the pain, of having to stop, of having to stop, halfway to the bottom, instantly forgotten, i never thought it would come, so easy, i never thought it would go, so quickly, is it safer never to love, than to risk your heart, having to lose, having to lose, halfway to the bottom, instantly forgotten, i don't know, which way to go, is it wiser never to speak, than to raise your voice, and never be heard, never be heard, never be heard
