ENEMY LYRICS

Written by: Zach Lupetin, Liz Beebe, Daniel Mark, Connor Vance, Ulf Bjorlin, Josh Heffernan, Matt Rubin 

It was like waking from a bad dream 

All that screaming in the past 

And now I know things

ain’t what they seem 

This old dream is gonna last a long time 

Was it something 

that I could have said?

Mama change your mind

Get out of your head 

I could never be your enemy 

(enemy enemy)

But now I just can’t be your friend 

Now I see you’ll be the end of me 

(enemy enemy)

If I don’t try and defend myself 

Oooh 3x

The sun is out 

I hear the children play

They clutch their clarinets as

the bus takes them away 

The concrete’s burning 

in the winter time 

they don’t believe me

there’s no reason to your rhyme 

they said that up 

is down instead

Daddy how did you get that in your head? 

I could never be your enemy 

(enemy enemy)

But now I just can’t be your friend 

Now I see you’ll be the end of me 

(enemy enemy)

If I don’t try and defend myself 

Oooh 3x

(Instrumental Break)

Hold your honey close

It’s going down 

They made him king 

But they forgot the crown 

Please pass the salt

But don’t you say a word

Jump in the lion’s den

There’s gonna be a fight on

Mama taught me 

right from wrong  

But we’ve been strangers 

all along 

I could never be your enemy 

(enemy enemy)

But now I just can’t be your friend 

Now I see you’ll be the end of me 

(enemy enemy)

If I don’t try and defend myself

Oooh 3x
