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
