Lyrics
Close Enemies
There's light at the end of the tunnel There's fight at the heart of a struggle Your smile should've told me you're trouble No more, no more, no more You owned me when I told you I love you You buried all my worth with a shovel Your smile should've told me you're trouble No more, no more, no more
No more goodbyes So so long, so so long, so so long, now No more white lies
You used to be the one true thing in my world You told me that you loved me You're in love with yourself Shoulda listened to my mother You messed around the others Now you're dead to me I've been sleeping with the enemy Should keep your best friends close by Should keep your best friends close by You should keep your best friends close by But keep your enemies closer But keep your enemies closer
So many evil talents you juggled It's fair to say you didn't act subtle Your smile should've told me you're trouble No more, no more, no more Came crashing down I'm staring at rubble They need to send you into space in a shuttle Your smile should've told me you're trouble No more, no more, no more
No more goodbyes So so long, so so long, so so long, now No more white lies
You used to be the one true thing in my world You told me that you loved me You're in love with yourself Shoulda listened to my mother You messed around the others Now you're dead to me I've been sleeping with the enemy Should keep your best friends close by Should keep your best friends close by You should keep your best friends close by But keep your enemies closer But keep your enemies closer
Strange and deranged Seek fame was the name of the game Defeat rivals Abel and Kane Get trophies they'll look great in a frame What would you have done, take all the blame? With your hands held firm over naked flames Being grilled now you're shaking again Faking the pain, dark visions of Satan Contemplating, talking man to man She was a girl on film Duran Duran She called me her ape man orang-utan Me Tarzan, she Jane Take all the blame I'm the bloke in the chorus We were sweet once everybody saw us I ain't flawless still unsure I loved us but I loved me more
