My Own Worst Enemy

[Verse 1] Where’d it go? That willpower of mine I need to get to work Yet I wait till I’ve run out of time Yeah, it’s the last second That’s when I "shine" It’s the kind of excuse That makes you walk a thin line [Transition] So let me preach my [Pre-Chorus] Lies, lies, propaganda Never seen a show this grandeur, Have ya? (You haven’t!) Lies, lies, can’t ya see them? Build 'em up and then believe 'em Till there’s n-n-nothing left! (Hear my anthem!) [Chorus] Yeah, I’m a liar, a procrastinator Terminator of my own potential Effort? Ha, it’s non-essential Just watch me skate on by On ice that’s wearing thin A losing game I play But somehow expect to win Yeah, I’m my own worst enemy (No surprise there) [Verse 2] When did this develop? 'Cause I kinda need to fix it I know it’s a bad habit But I’m helpless to resist it See, leaving it for tomorrow Turned to weeks, and then to months Now I’m biting off way more Than I could ever chew at once [Bridge] Now other people think the world of me Gotta make sure it’s only the gold they see It’s the lies, this fake persona, a tragedy Controlling my whole life [Transition] Like the boy who cried wolf, I gotta spread [Pre-Chorus] Lies, lies, till they don't believe me I’m tied, tied to this curse of mine As I cry out (Please see through it!) Lies, lies, how I want to be seen To hide the broken piece inside That just never felt right... [Chorus] Yeah, I’m a liar, a procrastinator Saboteur of my own potential Spent so long calling effort optional Like failure wasn't consequential I kept skating on borrowed time On ice that finally gave way A losing game I chose to play Then wondered why I couldn't stay Yeah, I’m my own worst enemy (Guess I knew that anyway)
