My Own Worst Enemy lyrics - Idina Menzel

In the roses

In the spring

I remember

There was a time

I wasn't afraid of anything

But with the lilacs

And the rain

One day you went away

I remember

I forgot everything

[Chorus:]

My mother's always trying to tell me

How to be grateful how to believe

My father's always trying to say

Baby you're beautiful in every way

My lover's always got me in his arms

Trying to protect me keep me from harm

So why do I always have to be

My worst my own worst enemy

In the shadows in the grays

In the lonely

There is a place

Where we can all hide away

But in the windows of the soul

There is nowhere we can go

If we keep running

Running from our destiny

[Chorus:]

My mother's always trying to tell me

How to be grateful how to believe

My father's always trying to say

Baby you're beautiful in every way

My lover's always got me in his arms

Trying to protect me keep me from harm

So why do I always have to be

My worst my own worst enemy

You say I walk on water

You say I walk on the moon

But it's never enough

(no it's never enough no it's never enough)

You say I'm only human

It's all in my head

But it's never enough

(no it's never enough no it's never enough)

One day I'll find

My alibi…

[Chorus:]

My mother's always trying to tell me

How to be grateful how to believe

My father's always trying to say

Baby you're beautiful in every way

My lover's always got me in his arms

Trying to protect me keep me from harm

So why do I always have to be

My worst my own worst enemy
