Woke up this morning with a pounding head
Last night’s mistakes playing back in bed
I said some things I didn’t mean to say
Now you’re gone, and I’m the one to blame
(Pre-Chorus)
I keep tripping over my own feet
Chasing shadows down these empty streets
Why do I always push you away?
Guess I’m stuck in my own dumb way
(Chorus)
I’m my own worst enemy
Screwing up what we could be
Popping off like a firework
Leaving burns that really hurt
Take me back, don’t let me go
I’m an idiot, but you know
Underneath this mess I made
I just want you to stay
(Verse 2)
Driving fast with the windows down
Radio blasting through this town
Thinking ‘bout the times we laughed all night
Now it’s silence, and it don’t feel right
(Pre-Chorus)
I keep fumbling every perfect chance
Like a bad joke in a bad romance
Why do I always hit self-destruct?
Feels like I’m running out of luck
(Chorus)
I’m my own worst enemy
Screwing up what we could be
Popping off like a firework
Leaving burns that really hurt
Take me back, don’t let me go
I’m an idiot, but you know
Underneath this mess I made
I just want you to stay
(Bridge)
One more shot, I’ll make it right
No more fights under neon lights
Violin strings pulling at my heart
Let’s rewind and get a fresh start
Yeah, I’m reckless, but I’m learning slow
Don’t walk away, baby, don’t say no
(Chorus)
I’m my own worst enemy
Screwing up what we could be
Popping off like a firework
Leaving burns that really hurt
Take me back, don’t let me go
I’m an idiot, but you know
Underneath this mess I made
I just want you to stay
(Outro)
My own worst enemy… (yeah, that’s me)
My own worst enemy… (set me free)
Take me back, don’t let me go
I’m my own worst enemy…
