Can I rely on the things that mean less to me

Can you deny this hurt you have placed on me

When I try to understand this void that you can't fill

Will you let me take away what I have given you



What is my enemy

So close that I can't see

What is my enemy

You've placed inside of me



What do you hide when you move right back from me

A change of tide when I curse your destiny

If you think I'll understand then stop and think again

Now I've opened up my mind I know that you don't care



What is my enemy

So close that I can't see

What is my enemy

You've placed inside of me



I have learnt again

No trust to depend

No letter will I send

No lies to defend



When you held my hand I forgot the fool I really am

And when you called my name I came running to you without shame

I could never understand just what I can't fulfill

And I broke the barriers that kept me standing still



What is my enemy

So close that I can't see

What is my enemy

You've placed inside of me
