Comfort in My Enemies

All I ever wanted was a place to be vulnerable,

Guess I was askin’ too much.

Can’t trust friends or family lately,

Everybody’s got a hidden motive or such.

So I’m findin’ comfort in my enemies,

At least I know their hearts ain’t pure.

Snakes don’t lie about the way they strike—

With them, I know for sure.

I spent my whole life fightin’ just to be seen,

Now I’m questionin’ if that’s really me.

To be seen is to be known, but honestly—

Nobody really knows me.

Here’s to the years that almost took me,

To the nights I cried myself to sleep.

Gave a boy my heart—looks sure deceived,

Played housewife while workin’ forty a week.

While I was earnin’, he was lyin’,

Cheatin’ around and thinkin’ he was slick.

Caught them tangled up one night in our bed—

He wasn’t good at fakin’ sleep that quick.

I might’ve tapped her car that night—

But I swear that part was news to me.

Funny how that girl and I became best friends,

Life’s strange with its irony.

Then I set her up with my best friend,

And sparks flew wild and free—

And oh, when I say that man didn’t like it,

He was mad as hell at me.

Yeah, I spent my life fightin’ just to be seen,

But maybe being seen ain’t everything.

You can know my name and miss the whole damn dream.

Here’s to the years that almost took me,

To the nights I cried myself to sleep.

Gave a boy my heart—looks sure deceived,

Played housewife while workin’ forty a week.

While I was earnin’, he was lyin’,

Cheatin’ around and thinkin’ he was slick.

Caught them tangled up one night in our bed—

He wasn’t good at fakin’ sleep that quick.

[Bridge] (strong + punchy)

Had a baby with that man,

But that baby wasn’t first to him.

Another someone meant more than we did,

And that truth finally sank in.

And if that don’t clear it up,

I’ll spell it out real slow—

That man likes ’em both,

And honey, now I know.

All I ever wanted was to be vulnerable,

Turns out I had to be strong for me.

Can’t trust friends, can’t trust family,

But at least my enemies don’t pretend to be.
