My Own Worst Enemy

Lyricist: Menzel, Idina / Ballard, Glen     Composer: Menzel, Idina / Ballard, Glen

In the roses, in the spring, I remember
There was a time I wasn't afraid of anything
With the lilacs and the rain
One day you went away
I remember
I forgot everything

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

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…

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 . . . .
