Lyrics
I'm My Own 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.
From now on I'm dancing with myself
To the sound of a blue and broken string
Left behind with the dust upon a shelf
The remains of a long forgotten song.
All that we had but now again
I stand alone all love has an end.
You cannot see this is my destiny
I'm my own enemy
In my life there was no-one like you
You cannot see this is my reality
I'm my own enemy
In my life there was no-one like you.
From now on I'm sleeping with my shadow
In the night my thoughts can be my own
All the pain and all this endless sorrow
I miss you more than I will ever know.
Holding you never again
It cannot be all love has an end.
You cannot see this is my destiny
I'm my own enemy
In my life there was no-one like you
You cannot see this is my reality
I'm my own enemy
In my life there was no-one like you.
Now I know there is no-one that is waiting
At the end of that long and winding road
Memories in the dead of night are calling
All the way I carry on my heavy load.
All that we had but now again
I stand alone all love has an end.
You cannot see this is my destiny
I'm my own enemy
In my life there was no-one like you
You cannot see this is my reality
I'm my own enemy
In my life there was no-one like you."
