Animal Flag sink

I'll sink before you do
Just enough to push me over but not enough to drown
I figured all my hesitation would someday let you down
So lukewarm with my intentions
Sometimes I pray you spit me out
I wish that I could love you Lord
But I'm afraid I wear the crown
And I'll sink before you do
I'm heavy in the water
It seems I'm constantly askew
But dethrone me again
And I will follow you
I'll sink before you do
