A song about life [instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Took a look at my list All the names that I blamed Circle after circle Every face Every day If I could smack the one Who caused most of this mess I’d be standing up forever ‘Cause I couldn’t even rest [instrumental break] [Pre-Chorus] Funny how it hurts when the mirror talks Every little choice like a ticking clock Running from the truth ‘til it runs you down How’s that working out now? [instrumental break] [Chorus] I’m my own worst enemy (hey!) Kicking my seat Then asking “who hit me?” If I spanked the fool who caused this pain I’d be too sore to sit again I’m my own worst enemy (oh!) Hard pill But it sets you free Face it You’re the common thread Stop swinging Use your head [instrumental interlude] [Verse 2] Yeah It’s sad But it’s real Almost everyone’s the same Pointing fingers in a circle Playing that familiar game You’re not special You’re not spared From the mess that you prepare Once you see it Once you care You can finally go somewhere [instrumental break] [Pre-Chorus] Everybody loves a convenient lie Till the weight of it’s too heavy to hide You can chase a hundred alibis But they lead you inside [instrumental break] [Chorus] I’m my own worst enemy (hey!) Kicking my seat Then asking “who hit me?” If I spanked the fool who caused this pain I’d be too sore to sit again I’m my own worst enemy (oh!) Hard pill But it sets you free Face it You’re the common thread Stop swinging Use your head [instrumental break] [Bridge] You don’t need to bruise yourself Just admit you played your part Take the blame back off the shelf Turn that anger into art Turn that drama into drive Turn that lesson into light You can fix the way you live Once you own the way you fight (yeah) [instrumental break] [Chorus] I’m my own worst enemy (hey!) Kicking my seat Then asking “who hit me?” If I spanked the fool who caused this pain I’d be too sore to sit again I’m my own worst enemy (oh!) Hard truth But it sets you free Face it You’re the common thread Stop swinging Use your head [instrumental interlude] [Chorus] We’re our own worst enemies (hey!) Whole room full of “it’s not me” If we smacked the ones who caused this pain We’d be too sore to sit again We’re our own worst enemies (oh!) Hard truth But it sets us free Hands up if you understand Change begins right where you stand [instrumental interlude] [outro] [fade out and end]
