Not Your Enemy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm sorry for all the times that he lied
And left your heart hangin'
I can't imagine what that feels like
But that was another place
And that was another time
It's not fair to blame me for all his crimes
Just for a minute give me a chance
Let me inside just for a minute
Baby just for a moment
Let me prove I'll do things right
Lay down your guard
And show me your colours
Don't fight it anymore
Show me you're with me
Open your arms
I'm not like the others
So don't fight it anymore no
What will it take for me to make you see
I'm not your enemy
I'm for out on the day that he left
I wasn't even there
It's become a nightmare
But I'll never rest till you give your all
I'll take nothing less till I hear happily ever after
The end
Just for a minute give me a chance
Let me inside just for a minute
Baby just for a moment
Let me prove I'll do things right
Lay down your guard
And show me your colours
Don't fight it anymore
Show me you're with me
Open your arms
I'm not like the others
So don't fight it anymore no
What will it take for me to make you see
I'm not your enemy
How do you expect things to get any better
If you keep me on the sideline
Don't you know there's a million things I wanna do
But you gotta meet me halfway you gotta try
Lay down your guard
And show me your colours
Don't fight it anymore
Show me you're with me
Open your arms
I'm not like the others
So don't fight it anymore no
What will it take for me to make you see
I'm not your enemy
