[Verse 1]
You know that I'm my own worst enemy
Always tryna wreck what's right in front of me
It doesn't mean that I don't understand
That every time I force your gentle hand
To come and comfort me
I make myself your enemy

[Pre-Chorus]
So lay me down my darling
In your bed
You lay my demons all to rest

[Chorus]
But there's Iago sitting on my shoulder
Every time I hold her
Telling me I'm never gonna make the grade
Telling me I'm stupid
Kinda self-deluded
If I think I got my happy ending made
And every time he calls it ends up in a fall
He stands there and he doesn't help me at all
Sometimes I think that I'm just running out of time
Just heading for the crime

[Post-Chorus]
When I let myself break my heart
With my own two hands
Put a bullet in the head of the great romance of my life
And I know that Iago
Will be the only one left alive
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I just don't have the energy
To be the things I'm meant to be
But every time you take me in your arms
It's like you drown out the alarms
Going off inside of me
Nothing but serenity

[Pre-Chorus]
So lay me down my darling
In your bed
You lay my demons all to rest

[Chorus]
But there's Iago sitting on my shoulder
Every time I hold her
Telling me I'm never gonna make the grade
Telling me I'm stupid
Kinda self-deluded
If I think I got my happy ending made
And every time he calls, it ends up in a fall
He stands there and he doesn't help me at all
Sometimes I think that I'm just running out of time
Just heading for the crime

[Post-Chorus]
When I let myself break my heart
With my own two hands
Put a bullet in the head of the great romance of my life
And I know that Iago
Will be the only one left alive
[Outro]
He'll be the only one left alive
He'll be the only one left alive
You know that I'm my own worst enemy
