My Own Enemy Lyrics

i don't ever try
to keep the love alive
i've found the frequency
you sucked it out of me
i'm not the only one
to hold a smoking gun
you felt the gravity
you think you're finally free

i don't even know
which way it oughta go
get out before you drown
before they bring us down
it's all inside of me
my only enemy
you sucked it out of me
you fucked it outta me

watch the world turn on
watch the world turn on
watch the world turn on
my only enemy

i want it all before you go
i want it all before you go
i want it all before you go

i don't ever try
to keep the love alive
i've found the frequency
you sucked it out of me
you sucked it out of me
you sucked it out of me
my only enemy, my only enemy
watch the world turn on
watch the world turn on
watch the world turn on
my only enemy, my only enemy
my only enemy, my only enemy
my only enemy
well fuck you, well fuck you

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.
