My Own Worst Enemy (It Was Me)
One night when the moon was blue
It reflected off the trees from my upstairs view
In my back yard I saw a man
He had a grin on his face and a knife in his hand
So I took off after him
I knew I had to vanquish this villain
And we ran through the forest in the night
The blade of his knife flashing in the moonlight
In the clearing I caught up with him
I could swear I heard him laughing
Then I saw his face in the moonlight
It was me! I'm my own worst enemy!
It was me! It was me! I'm my own worst enemy!
My own worst enemy, yeah
So I let him up. I said "Now, why are you following me?"
He said, "I'm only as alive as you want me to be"
He said, "Remember back in High School
When Jesus really got a hold of you?
Well, I had to go away for a while. You know it's true
But as the years went by, and as your life became a lie
I grew stronger. Now I'm back to haunt ya
I grew stronger. Now I'm back to haunt ya!"
I threw him on the ground again
I had to choke the life right out of him
But then I saw his face in the moonlight...
It was me! I'm my own worst enemy!
It was me! It was me! I'm my own worst enemy!
My own worst enemy, yeah
Abuses and excuses, Lord, I've got excuses!
Abuses and excuses, Lord, I know I'm full of excuses!
Lord Jesus, You know I need Your help every time I sabotage myself
Lord Jesus, You know I need Your help every single time I sabotage myself
Lord Jesus, won't You hear my plea
Reach down and rescue me from me
Don't leave me fighting in the moonlight
Cause You know it's me! I'm my own worst enemy
Lord, You know it's me! It's always been me
I'm my own worst enemy!
Lord, You know it's me, it's me
I'm my own worst enemy!
Lord, You know it's me, Lord, it's me
I'm my own worst enemy!
My own worst enemy!
My own worst enemy!
It reflected off the trees from my upstairs view
In my back yard I saw a man
He had a grin on his face and a knife in his hand
So I took off after him
I knew I had to vanquish this villain
And we ran through the forest in the night
The blade of his knife flashing in the moonlight
In the clearing I caught up with him
I could swear I heard him laughing
Then I saw his face in the moonlight
It was me! I'm my own worst enemy!
It was me! It was me! I'm my own worst enemy!
My own worst enemy, yeah

Lord, You know it's me, Lord, it's me
I'm my own worst enemy!
My own worst enemy!
My own worst enemy!
