“Worst Enemy” starts with a floaty, minimal musical riff as Jess Benko showcases her clear, emotive vocals. As it progresses, the contemplative lyrics take on a weightier feel thanks to the addition of an ominous electronic pop beat.
“I really wanted to capture how frustrating it can be fighting in...
[Verse 1]
I'm tryna convince myself
To act like someone else
Is it better for my health
If I keep it to myself
[Refrain]
Sorry
If it seems like I'm lonely
Maybe you just don't know me
So I constantly remind myself
[Pre-Chorus]
No one wants to cry with the radio on
Shuffling my music and it's all sad songs
Don't know why this phase is taking so damn long
To get out of my head
[Chorus]
Everybody's winning while I'm breaking down
Hate being so sad with all these are people around
'Cause I'm scared of what they'll think of me
Scared I'll be the death of me
[Post-Chorus]
Am I my own worst enеmy?
Am I my own worst enemy?
[Verse 2]
Hide it so you can't tеll
I'm not a child don't need your help
I'll work it out on my own
Finding shelter from my storm
[Refrain]
Sorry
If it seems like I'm lonely
Maybe you just don't know me
So I constantly remind myself
[Pre-Chorus]
No one wants to cry with the radio on
Shuffling my music and it's all sad songs
Don't know why this phase is taking so damn long
To get out of my head
[Chorus]
Everybody's winning while I'm breaking down
Hate being so sad with all these are people around
'Cause I'm scared of what they'll think of me
Scared I'll be the death of me
[Post-Chorus]
Am I my own worst enemy?
Am I my own worst enemy?
