Nemesis

In my last defence

Shot down

With devastating sense

Shot down

It’s sinking in my head

She’s got me crawling around my bed

But in the end

I’ve nothing left

Shot down

 

Don’t teach me to lie again

To myself

I’m not expecting to try again

By myself

She’s got me needing

All the strength I’ve left

When all else fails

My nemesis

Shot down

 

Crashing round my head

Shot down

A permanent descent

Shot down

Wishing I could say

Can’t leave you having it all your way

But nothing’s meant

My last defence

Shot down

 

Don’t teach me to lie again

To myself

I’m not expecting to try again

By myself

She’s got me needing

All the strength I’ve left

When all else fails

My nemesis

Shot down
