I turned into a river And cut right through the hill That I was prepared To die on I muddied your good ground Right beneath your feet I was not formed For you to rely on You don’t get to drag me down with you You don’t get to put me through Everything you think you do What to do escapes you but That does not make you free You’re a lot of things to me Why make me your enemy? Why make me your enemy? You folded and reshuffled Just to play the same damn game You better gamble to win When you deal the devil in Cause you don’t make better odds Just by pushing in more chips And ignoring your debts Ain’t gonna settle them, no You don’t get to drag me down with you You don’t get to put me through Everything you think you do What to do escapes you but That does not make you free You’re a lot of things to me Don’t make me your enemy Don’t make me your enemy Don’t make me your enemy Why make me your enemy? Don’t make me your enemy Why make me your enemy? Don’t make me your enemy Why make me your enemy? And when my stillness shattered I would no longer reflect Your terrible beauty And flickering pain So when we parted ways It was like Moses parting water And then you cried for relief And waited for rain You can’t float your troubles down my back I won’t wash away your shame Or carry to you what you lack You can’t float your troubles down my back I won’t wash away your shame Or carry to you what you lack Or carry to you what you lack Don’t make me your enemy Why make me your enemy? Don’t make me your enemy Why make me your enemy? Don’t make me your enemy Why make me your enemy? Don’t make me your enemy Why make me your enemy?
