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?

My worst, my own worst enemy...
