“My Enemy” is the second single from CHVRCHES' third studio album Love is Dead. The song was first played on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Radio Show as a “Word Record”.
This collaboration with Matt Berninger of The National marks the first time that the group has worked with another artist on an album track...
[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
I got no more time to hear what you think about me
Because all your words are so cold, so callous, so clean
In the moment, you could be honest, you could wake up, up
But your jealousy is more blind than luck
[Chorus: Lauren Mayberry]
And you could be my enemy
And you could be my judge
If you could start remembering all the time that you used up
And you could be my remedy
If you could show me love
If I could stop remembering all the time that you used up
[Verse 2: Matt Berninger]
I got no more time to hear who you think we should blame
Because all your words are so vile, so vicious, so vain
In the end, we did all the damage that you could want, want
But the emptiness will go on and on
[Chorus: Lauren Mayberry]
And you could be my enemy
And you could be my judge
If you could start remembering all the time that you used up
And you could be my remedy
If you could show me love
If I could stop remembering all the time that you used up
[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Lauren Mayberry]
And you could be my enemy
And you could be my judge
If you could start remembering all the time that you used up
And you could be my remedy
If you could show me love
If I could stop remembering all the time that you used up
