The Worst of Me

Verse 1

I keep building walls out of every good thing I touch

Then wonder why I can't get out

Same voice running every flaw on repeat

And I've memorized the taste of doubt

I blame myself before the day even starts

Hands tied up in everything I'm not

Pre-Chorus

So I

I tell myself I'm fine

Full of it and counting down the time

Same loop inside my head

Same rope around my neck

Chorus

'Cause I'm my own worst enemy

I keep digging out the best of me

Down, down, down I go again

Right back to where it all began

The worst of me is all I understand

And the worst of me is all I'll ever be

Verse 2

Some nights I draft a better version in my head

A softer man who lets it go

Then morning comes and burns the page

I hold the match to every plan I wrote

'Cause maybe deep down

I like the way it stings

The ruin keeps me company

And I know its name by heart

Pre-Chorus 2

So I

I promise I'll be good

Then I break it by midnight

Same devil in my blood

Same hands switching off the light

Chorus

'Cause I'm my own worst enemy

I keep digging out the best of me

Down, down, down I go again

Right back to where it all began

The worst of me is all I understand

And the worst of me is all I'll ever be

Bridge

Think I'll ever learn my name

Or just keep mouthing it

Same four walls I built myself

Same face I can't forgive

I am done forgiving

Final Chorus

'Cause I'm my own worst enemy

Nothing left that I can give to me

Down, down, down I go again

Still right back to where it all began

The worst of me is all I understand

All I've ever been

And all I'll ever be

The worst of me is all I'll ever be
