Enemy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a side to me
I never want the world to see
I know that if I let it free
They would probably judge me
Judge me

[Pre-Chorus]
I lay in bed at night
Watch you as you try to break my mind

[Chorus]
You used to be a friend to me
Now you're just my enemy
So fucking full of jealousy
Will you ever let me be happy?
Happy

[Verse 2]
There's a side to you
I kinda wish I never knew
It's good to know you got one too
All the shit you put me through, it ain't true
It ain't true

[Pre-Chorus]
I lay in bed at night
Watch you as you try to break my mind
[Chorus]
You used to be a friend to me
Now you're just my enemy
So fucking full of jealousy
Will you ever let me be happy?
Happy
Happy

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Tom Odell say about "Enemy"?
Genius Answer

[For] anyone that’s struggled with their head, there’s a horrible moment when you realise that perhaps you can’t completely trust your mind. It’s scary-if you can’t trust that, what can you trust? I think there’s a horrible moment with mental illness when you think, ‘God, am I crazy?’ Interestingly, when we finished the song, I also felt that the song could also be about the end of a relationship.
