Juliana Hatfield

My Enemy

Juliana Hatfield


Put your ear next to my beating heart 
Still alive 
And if you pick me up in your arms 
I'll give you one more chance 
To try and knock me down again 

If you want to stand me up on frozen ground 
Go on take aim when I open my mouth

I still love my enemy 
I still love my enemy

You appointed me the stoic one 
Not allowed to cry these tears 
But silence belies the pain 
You pushed inside 

Impossible to love 
Is all that I know how to be 
But in my heart 
I keep repeating 
You didn't mean to hate me 

I still love my enemy
I still love my enemy ...
