Idina Menzel — My Own Worst Enemy lyrics

Lyrics

In the roses, in the spring
I remember there was a time
I wasn’t afraid of anything
But with the lilacs and the rain
One day you went away
I remember I forgot everything
My mother’s always trying to tell me How to be grateful, how to believe
My father’s always trying to say
Baby, you’re beautiful in every way
My lover’s always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be My worst, my own worst enemy?
In the shadows in the grays
In the lonely, there is a place
Where we can all hide away
But in the windows of the soul
There is nowhere we can go If we keep running, running from our destiny
My mother’s always trying to tell me How to be grateful, how to believe
My father’s always trying to say
Baby, you’re beautiful in every way
My lover’s always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be My worst, my own worst enemy?
You say I walk on water
You say I walk on the moon
But it’s never enough
(No, it’s never enough, no, it’s never enough)
You say I’m only human
It’s all in my head
But it’s never enough
(No, it’s never enough, no, it’s never enough)
One day I’ll find my alibi
My mother’s always trying to tell me How to be grateful, how to believe
My father’s always trying to say
Baby, you’re beautiful in every way
My lover’s always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be My worst, my own worst enemy?
