lyrics

The other half of my bed is empty again
I can’t stop the panic but it’s all in my head
Who taught you to shoplift all my self-esteem
I never thought you would hijack all my dreams

Well I'm trying to be patient, trying to be kind
Trying to make it work out and make up my mind

'Cause It's hard when your love is the enemy
It's my volatile chemistry
And I'm tied down by my self-destructive tendencies

I've seen you out around town with your new friend
I keep knocking myself down and you won't let it end
You’ve got me stuck in the mud and you're what I need
To clear these thoughts from my head and set me free

Well I tore my own heart out but I blame it on you
All I've got’s a photograph but it won't do

Cause it's hard when your love is the enemy
And I'm looking for my sweet serenity
But I'm tied down by my self-destructive tendencies

Cause it's hard when your love is the enemy
It's just my volatile chemistry
And I'm tied down by my self-destructive tendencies
