[Verse 1]
I want everything to be perfect
Pick you apart at the seams
Drown you out if I don’t wanna hear you
Crush every single one of your dreams
I’m going under the water; it’s pulling me down
I can’t help myself

[Chorus]
I’m my own worst enemy, enemy, enemy
It’ll be the end of me, end of me, end of me

[Verse 2]
I wanted to go the distance
I met everything with resistance
I pulled the pin out on the grenade
Burned down everything I had made
As I struggle in here I see angels near
Can’t help myself

[Chorus]
I’m my own worst enemy, enemy, enemy
It’ll be the end of me, end of me, end of me
And the coast is clear on me, clear on me, clear on me
I’m my own worst enemy, enemy
I’m an open field

[Verse 3]
I put on my armour
Strap on my boots
Look around to see which weapons I’ll choose
I’m going for medals, decoration
I’m pulling out from my lonely station

[Bridge]
So I’ll call you if I need help
I’ll call you if I need help
I’ll call you if I need help

[Chorus]
I’m my own worst enemy, enemy, enemy
It’ll be the end of me, end of me, end of me
And the coast is clear on me, clear on me, clear on me
I’m my own worst enemy
Enemy in an open field

[Outro]
Just leave me alone here
Just leave me alone here
Alone here
Just leave me alone

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter. The songstress is well-known for hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “Promiscuous”.

She began her career in 1996 contributing vocals to Plains of Fascination’s “Walkin' 4 The Streets” and forming Nelstar. After leaving the group, Furtado released her debut single “Party’s Just Begun (Again)”.

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
