In the pink, in the flush of life
Run away from yourself (Run away from yourself)
Mustn't think, mustn't contemplate
Playing havoc with your health
I can't believe your double meanings
I didn't think you had those leanings
I must've been a bitter disappointment to you
Here comes that horrible feeling
You're your own worst enemy
My words just bounce off the ceiling
Here we go again, hide the anger, let's pretend
Pepper me with alternatives
Nothing genuine to say
Just a lapse into bad taste
You could call it snobbery
I can't believe your double meanings
I didn't think you had those leanings
I can't believe your hidden meanings
It's hard work, all this deceiving
Here comes that horrible feeling
You're your own worst enemy
My words just bounce off the ceiling
Here we go again, hide the anger, let's pretend
Don't try to turn me away now
There is nothing we can't see
Too many voices at play now
To surrender the part of me that won't leave it be
I need you to tell me a story
So that I can get some sleep
Choose something valedictorian
Here comes that horrible feeling
You're your own worst enemy
My words just bounce off the ceiling
You're your own worst enemy
Don't try to scare me away now
There is nothing we can't see
Too many voices at play now
To surrender the part of me that won't leave it be
