My Enemy

My Enemy

I could turn around and blame you,
For the signs you couldn't read,
For your arrogance and ignorance,
And for taking my heart with greed.

I could hate you because you teased me,
And because I always enjoyed it,
And for every time you touched me,
When you froze my world for a bit.

I could tell you how you ruined me,
And messed me up inside,
How you toyed with my emotions,
And took my feelings for a ride.

Well...

You destroyed my common sense,
And broke down every wall,
I fell in love with you my enemy,
And you just let me fall.

I could tell you that I hate you,
But why give you what you want?
You never gave me anything,
Except an egotistical front.

I could come right out and say it,
And admit that I was a fool,
Taking the blame would be so easy,
Because you act so cool.

I'm happy to let you go,
Because I don't need the pain,
You won't miss me anyway,
You're too narcissistic and vain.

And...

You destroyed my common sense,
And broke down every wall,
I fell in love with you my enemy,
And you just let me fall.

I've spent too much time,
Thinking of things to say,
To make you feel like I did,
When I saw you every day.

You obviously never realised,
The torture you put me through,
With just the flick of a smile,
You could tear my heart in two.

So...

You destroyed my common sense,
And broke down every wall,
I loved you once, but you're my enemy,
And one day I'll watch you fall.
