The Enemy - Peter Cox

Don’t you think I feel you retreating

Right there in your kiss?

You can see that we’re onto something here

But still you resist

Maybe you think I wanna shoot you down

And that’s why you’re running away

But you must believe that.

I’m not the enemy

Don’t be afraid of me

I’d never hurt you, no

I want you to believe that

I’m not the enemy.

Who made you so scared to surrender

Some ghost from your past?

Someone who said you two were forever

Just some guy talking fast

So now you think you’ve heard it all before

The same confection of lies

But you must believe that.

I’m not the enemy

Don’t be afraid of me

I’d never hurt you, no

I want you to believe that

I’m not the enemy.

Whenever you’re close to letting go

You run and you hide

What can I do to let you know

I’m on your side?

I’m not the enemy

But I could be a real good friend

You don’t wanna get hurt again

And I can understand it

Don’t wait for me to shoot you down

‘Cause I don’t wanna fool around

With the good thing I have found in you

So if you think I wanna break your heart

Then you don’t know me at all.

I’m not the enemy

Don’t be afraid of me

I’d never hurt you, no

I want you to believe that

I’m not the enemy.
