CIRCA SURVIVE LYRICS - Imaginary Enemy

"Imaginary Enemy"



You're so careless, careless

How did you get so ungrateful?

You treat me like I'm a disease,

Oh, and it's been killing me

Chances are, you never even cared at all

I'm sure that you had your reasons

But I'll never get to hear the truth

Disguised in all your alibis

It's a tradition, practiced,

every time you say goodbye



I've tried so hard

to be what you needed

Your imaginary enemy

I've tried for so long

to make you believe it

That I am not the enemy



Slipshod cavalier,

I can't stand to see those things that

You have taken for granted

Thrown away everything you've been handed

Too much all at once that's how you got so ungrateful

All you saw was the burden

Standing beside all your blessed truths

Disguised in all your alibis

It's a tradition, practiced,

every time you say goodbye



I've tried so hard

to be what you needed

Your imaginary enemy

I've tried for so long

to make you believe it

That I am not the enemy

Imaginary enemy



Oh, oh, oh, oh

Alright, yeah



I've tried so hard

to be what you needed

Your imaginary enemy

I've tried for so long

to make you believe it

That I am not the enemy

Imaginary enemy
