My Own Worst Enemy
♫ Stereophonics Lyrics

I'd just turned twenty six and she was twenty three
At the age of twenty-six, I had a romantic relationship with a young woman of twenty-three years old.

She wore a crucifix but never preached at me
She was a religious person, but never forced her beliefs on me.

We'd stay up all the night until the day was dead
We would stay up all night until the morning, as if the night had killed the day.

I'd get the fear of God inside my broken head
I would become incredibly anxious and paranoid, as though God was punishing me for my sins.

Wanna fly away
I desire to escape my current situation.

And change my ways
I want to change my behavior and attitude.

I'll beat myself to death while she sits next to me
I will continue to torment myself while she remains present, and probably unaware of it.

I wanna free myself from all this misery
I desire to end all of my mental anguish and suffering.

I wanna taste the love but life's against up me
I wish to experience love, but it seems that fate is working against me.

But I am my own worst enemy
Ultimately, I am the source of all my problems and the only one responsible for changing them.

I try to get some sleep her arms are over me
As I try to rest, she holds me tightly in her arms.

I'm staring at the walls they're closing in on me
I feel trapped and suffocated as I stare at the walls enclosing around me.

This sun bleeds through the blinds that washes over me
In the morning, the sunlight passes through the blinds and lights up my surroundings.

Today's the day I tell myself to set me free
Today is the day that I am going to take action to free myself from my struggles.

(Feel, wanna feel it, wanna feel it, wanna feel it)
This line does not have a clear meaning and mainly serves as a repeating melody.

Worst enemy
I am my own worst obstacle and impediment to my own happiness.

Worst enemy!
Emphasizing the point that I am alone responsible for my problems and the only one capable of changing them.
