Worst Enemy

from Dovetail

Something happened a long time ago
And evidently you no longer know
But you roll it like a wheel for your daily woes
It's your worst enemy

We can all see you come from some special place
Like alien encounters, from lines on your face
What would it be you wish you could erase
It's your own worst enemy

Chorus:
What are you running from
Something you said or maybe something you've done
And you know you can't be holding on to nothing

You stand by the window looking out over the Sound
And no one bothers or comes around
But there's something trespassing on your garden grounds
It's your own worst enemy

Chorus:
What are you running from
Something you left unsaid or left undone
And you know you can't be holding on to no one

Confessions comfort once spoken out loud
But like the rains of Seattle, they'll just fall down
While your own true sorrow is buried underground
By your own worst enemy

Chorus:
What are you waiting for
For someone else to open or close the door
When you know it doesn't work that way no more, no

Something happened a long time
It doesn't matter, you don't need to know
Turn around and take the hand of your favorite foe
Forgive your worst enemy

Don't be your own your own your own
Don't be your own your own your own
Don't be your own your own your own
Worst enemy, your own your own
Don't be your own your own your own
Don't be your own your own your own
Don't be your own your own your own
Worst enemy
