My Own Worst Enemy

Lit · Platinum & Gold Collection [2011]

Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?

I didn't mean to call you that

I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me

Please tell me,



Please tell me why

My car is in the front yard

And I'm

sleeping with my clothes on

I came in through the window

last night

and you're gone...gone



It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy

'Cause every now and then I kick the living shit out of me

The smoke alarm is going off, and there's a cigarette

Still burning



Please tell me why

My car is in the front yard

And I'm

sleeping with my clothes on

I came in through the window

last night

and you're gone...gone [x2]



It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy

'Cause every now and then I kick the living shit out of me

Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk

I didn't mean to call you that
