Don't Be My Enemy
by: Wang ChungDon't be my enemy
Don't be my enemy
You had your dreams
You required a scheme of things
Evolved, resolved through the years
And I had my part
(When you wrote me)
But you broke my heart
(When you wrote me)
You spend your whole time trying
To burn me to the ground
Don't be my enemy
Can't you see, what you're doing to me?
Don't be my enemy
Can't you see, what an effect this is having on me?
Don't be my enemy
Can't you see, what you're doing to me?
Don't be my enemy
Can't you see, what an effect this is having on me?
I had a thought
It was just a simple thought
Of a friend, very close, very clear
But then it stopped looking so straight
(When you wrote me)
You found the hate
(When you wrote me)
You spend your whole time trying to make
Me look like your main fool
Don't be my enemy
Can't you see, what you're doing to me
Don't be my enemy
Can't you see, what an effect this is having on me?
Don't be my enemy
Can't you see, what you're doing to me?
Don't be my enemy
