Be My Enemy Lyrics

would you be my enemy?
it's easier that way
be my enemy

if you don't like what you hear
at least get something out of it
come back to mine
we'll be separated
oh we'll be
living faster than I care to notice
care to notice me

would you be my enemy?
it's easier that way
be my enemy
would you be my enemy?
it's easier that way
be my enemy

it's easier that way
it's easier that way

you could turn to laugh in my face
or contest there's not a place for it
you don't care
you don't care
didn't push those buttons right
this darkness seems so bright now

i cannot contain myself
would you be my enemy?
it's easier that way
be my enemy
would you be my enemy?
it's easier that way
be my enemy

it's easier that way
it's easier that way

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Be My Enemy lyrics by Departure, The

my favourite departure song, "would you be my enemy, it's easier that way" that sort of reminds me of when you want someone bad but you can't have them.. it hurts to be around them because you're constantly reminded of what you can't have.. so in the end its easier just not to be around them or for them to "be your enemy' i'm not sure if thats anything to do with the song or even if that made any sense, but thats what i think of when i hear this song..

yeah, i think it's like you have mixed feelings about someone. and possibly because they are confusing you and giving you the wrong impression, and you just want them to make up their mind.

people can be so frustrating.
