MY OWN ENEMY

MY OWN ENEMY is about fighting the one person you can never escape — yourself. Overthinking, self-sabotage, doubt, and the voice in your head that always knows exactly where it hurts. Sometimes the hardest battle is the one nobody else can see. I know every weakness I got Every little place where it hurts I know exactly what to say When I wanna make it worse I can turn one bad day Into a reason I should quit Take a tiny little mistake And convince myself that's it Everybody says I'm doing fine But they don't live inside my mind I don't need somebody bringing me down I already do it all the time I know the voice I know the sound Every time I start to rise It pulls me down I'm my own enemy Nobody hurts me like me I build myself up just to tear it apart Put a knife in every dream before it starts I'm my own enemy I know exactly where I'm weak I keep running from the person in the mirror But everywhere I go, he's following me Yeah I'm my own enemy I don't trust good things when they come I just wait for them to leave If somebody tells me they love me I find ten reasons not to believe I ruin moments while they're happening Thinking how they're gonna end Push away the ones who care Then complain I got no friends And maybe that's the hardest part Knowing I'm the one who starts Half the fires that I'm standing in Then asking why I'm covered in scars I'm my own enemy Nobody hurts me like me I build myself up just to tear it apart Put a knife in every dream before it starts I'm my own enemy I know exactly where I'm weak I keep running from the person in the mirror But everywhere I go, he's following me What if I stopped fighting myself? What if I gave myself a chance? What if the person I keep running from Is the only one who understands? I'm my own enemy But maybe I don't have to be Maybe I can learn to let myself breathe Without expecting the worst from everything I'm my own enemy But I'm tired of losing to me I can't keep running from the person in the mirror So maybe tonight I'll finally let him speak I'm my own enemy But I don't wanna be Subscribe for more music from Aven Cole. #AvenCole #MyOwnEnemy #EmotionalRap #MelodicRap #DarkRap
