Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They say, "Keep your friends close''

But you're closer, I love when you're here

I'm so far away sometimes, I'm distant, yeah

You might help me, intimacy, I'll admit, I'm scared

Maybe, maybe you can reach me, yeah

[Chorus]

Maybe you're my enemy

Now I've finally let you come a little close to me, oh

Maybe you're my enemy

You're the only one who knows the way I really feel, oh

Now it's really clear to me

You could do a little damage, you could cut me deeper

Maybe you're my enemy

Baby, you're my enemy, yeah

[Verse 2]

Suddenly, you're in my bedroom under my sheets every night

Suddenly, I lose my fear, it feels good, yeah

I feel guilty, I feel nervous, I feel certain now

Maybe, maybe you can reach me, yeah

[Chorus]

Maybe you're my enemy

Now I've finally let you come a little close to me, oh

Maybe you're my enemy

You're the only one who knows the way I really feel, oh

Now it's really clear to me

You could do a little damage, you could cut me deeper

Maybe you're my enemy

Baby, you're my enemy, yeah

[PostChorus]

Oh, yeah

Yeah, oh

Maybe you're my enemy

Baby, you're my enemy, yeah

[Bridge]

So calm at the surface

I'm scared of nothin'

Underneath, I'm nervous

Can you reach me?

So calm at the surface

Told you I'm scared of nothin'

Underneath, I'm nervous, yeah

Can you reach me?

[Bridge]

I think a tough journey to be on

Whilst you're around a lot of people

I feel like I'm learning that about myself

And I don't fully really understand it yet

It hurts here, it like hurts here

[Chorus]

Maybe you're my enemy

Now I've finally let you come a little close to me, oh

Maybe you're my enemy

You're the only one who knows the way I really feel, oh

Now it's really clear to me

You could do a little damage, you could cut me deeper

Maybe you're my enemy

Baby, you're my enemy, yeah

[PostChorus]

Can you reach me?

[PostChorus]

Maybe you're my enemy

Can you reach me?

Baby, you're my enemy, yeah

Can you reach me?

Baby, you're my enemy, yeah

Can you reach me?

[PostChorus]

I seem to think that I'm a really bad person
