Album:

My Own Best Enemy

Locked up tight but holdin' the key 
Clock keeps tickin' like it's laughin' at me 
I wonder 
What spell I'm under 
Days go by in a pulseless haze 
Who's that person that's wearin' my face 
Denyin' 
What he's hidin' 


I can't go on like this 
I won't let myself miss the rest of my life 


Chorus: 
When something's come and gone 
What good is holdin' on? 
Why waste tomorrow chasin' yesterday? 
I part my lips to speak 
But the words are out of reach 
I guess that really means 
There's nothin' left to say 


I guess we could carry on livin' asleep 
Who is the fool who could choose to just keep pretendin' 
That this ain't endin'? 
I wish you all that I wish for myself 
To have that ache of emptiness behind us 
And not still inside us 


It's time to take that dare 
There's still a world out there waitin' for me 


Chorus: 
When something's come and gone 
What good is holdin' on? 
Why waste tomorrow chasin' yesterday? 
I part my lips to speak 
But the words are out of reach 
I guess that really means 
There's nothin' left to say 


We did the best we could 
Just like we thought we should 
But sometimes you've got to just let go 


Chorus: 
When something's come and gone 
What good is holdin' on? 
Why waste tomorrow chasin' yesterday? 
I part my lips to speak 
But the words are out of reach 
I guess that really means 
There's nothin' left to say 


There's nothin' left to say 
Nothin' left to say
