Idina Menzel - My Own Worst Enemy Lyrics






In the roses
In the spring
I remember
There was a time
I wasn't afraid of anything
But with the lilacs
And the rain
One day you went away
I remember
I forgot everything

[Chorus:]
My mother's always trying to tell me
How to be grateful how to believe
My father's always trying to say
Baby you're beautiful in every way
My lover's always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be
My worst my own worst enemy

In the shadows in the grays
In the lonely
There is a place
Where we can all hide away
But in the windows of the soul
There is nowhere we can go
If we keep running
Running from our destiny

[Chorus:]
My mother's always trying to tell me
How to be grateful how to believe
My father's always trying to say
Baby you're beautiful in every way
My lover's always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be
My worst my own worst enemy

You say I walk on water
You say I walk on the moon
But it's never enough
(no it's never enough no it's never enough)
You say I'm only human
It's all in my head
But it's never enough
(no it's never enough no it's never enough)
One day I'll find
My alibi…

[Chorus:]
My mother's always trying to tell me
How to be grateful how to believe
My father's always trying to say
Baby you're beautiful in every way
My lover's always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be
My worst my own worst enemy

    LOVE this song. Oh, (as long as we're talking about our favorite songs from I Stand) Brave! We mustn't forget Brave!

  4. 5.... ....

    Such a great song...and sung beautifully! She can't miss.

  5. �.... ....

    당신은 let it go 라이브가 최고인가요. 그거 하나로 밥먹고 살겠어요?

    �.... ....

    @유동일 If you are ignorant and stupid I suggest you keep your mouth shut; that way you can keep everyone from actually knowing that you are ignorant and stupid. She won Tony Award like twenty years ago. Let It Go is far from her most recognized song cause she has Hit songs like Take Me or Leave Me and Defying Gravity. Learn before you say stupid things.

    Even if it's not directly both Idina and her songs working magic, they still work wonders. This being my favorite song from her I Stand album, I sang this for a school talent show a few years ago. I placed 3rd and got such a confidence boost you wouldn't believe. She is my favorite singer no doubt, and her songs are so insightful <3
