My Own Worst Enemy

Yesterday, I had everything, The perfect house, the perfect ring But I should have known that you would go and leave me all alone Fool me once, shame on you You made me think that you’d be true Fool me twice, shame on me Because you’re the same you will always be I can’t blame anybody else, because I did it to myself It’s my fault for letting you in when I know where you’ve been I can’t blame others for my tragedy because I am my own worst enemy I wish I never knew your name But really I guess I’m to blame For thinking that you’d ever change I’m so good at self-sabotage I do it all the time Crazy is my camouflage. Of the girl I left behind I can’t blame anybody else, because I did it to myself It’s my fault for letting you in when I know where you’ve been I can’t blame others for my tragedy because I am my own worst enemy And then you strayed “just because” And you made life worse than it ever was Now I’m overguessing and overstressing I should have run I should have hid After all the you did It was just as everyone predicted, But It doesn’t hurt less just because its self inflicted I can’t blame anybody else, because I did it to myself It’s my fault for letting you in when I know where you’ve been I can’t blame others for my tragedy because I am my own worst enemy
