lyrics

I'd grown accustomed to crawling
On my hands and knees
A lifetime of falling down
Was finally catching up to me
I used to lie awake at night
And wonder if the ends would meet
Now I lay asleep so tight
With you next to me

And there's a lot to be said for
Barely scraping by
So much I didn't plan for
Too much wasted time

I used to have so many things
That I could complain about
And every song I ever wrote
Talked about the pain and doubt
So am I just another artist
Claimed by stability?
And if life is really harmless
Will I find something new to sing?

And there's a lot to be said for
The good life
But it seems like the best songs
Come from pain inside

So now that I have been let in
And I have made things right again
I feel like I am neither here nor there
And I'm sure that it must be a sin
To dream about what might have been
Or is the greater sin to pretend that I don't care?

But it's nothing like I thought it would be
'Cause the enemy is me

Happiness is something
That used to come and go
Heartache is a long lost friend
That I don't hardly know...anymore
But I'm coming to accept the fact
That everything's ok
But it's hard sometimes to say goodbye
To the things of yesterday...but anyway...

And there's a lot to be said for
The way I feel inside
Sometimes I still miss you
And the tears I used to cry

So now that I have been let in
And I have made things right again
I feel like I am neither here nor there
And I'm sure that it must be a sin
To dream about what might have been
Or is the greater sin to pretend that I don't care?

But it's nothing like I thought it would be
And I've finally come to see
That the enemy is me

It's nothing like I thought it would be
'Cause the enemy is me
