My Enemy
When you thought I was winning the game
You came and snuffed out the flame
You thought you finished me off but you just made me strong.
Each time you dealt me a blow
Each time you brought me so low
I found something inside to help me along.
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy.
Did I slight you in some little way
Or does hate help you get through the day ?
One way or another, I'm happy your aim was so true.
If the demons in you hadn't jarred
I would never have struggled so hard
The only thing now eating me is what's eating you.
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy.
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy.
Now we're just two old men on the brink
Each waiting for the other to blink
If I should lose you, I'd be left with nothing but fate.
As I see your life fall apart
I should smile but I don't have the heart
At the end of the day, it's still too much effort to hate.
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy.
