Enemies
Love Lost, Rival Hearts: Conor Maynard's Emotional Battle in 'Enemies'
Lyrics
I'll wipe your number from my phone
I will erase your contact information from my phone
And try to pretend that I never loved ya (I never loved ya)
Attempting to act as if I never had feelings for you
I'll stay away from all the places
Avoiding places that remind me of our time together to stop thinking about you
That we went to stop thinking of ya (stop thinking of ya)
Struggling to stop thoughts about you
'Cause I don't know how else to go
Expressing uncertainty about how to move forward
Now I'm on my own
Currently navigating life without you
Can we (can we, can we)
Pleading the question: Can we be enemies?
Can we be enemies, enemies
Repeating the desire to be enemies
Baby, can we (can we, can we)
Continuing the plea for enmity
Can we be enemies
Reiterating the request to be enemies
Enemies (enemies)
Emphasizing the term "enemies"
'Cause I'd rather hate you
Expressing a preference to harbor hatred rather than trying to forget
Than try to forget you
Choosing to hate as a coping mechanism
I hope that you're feeling the same
Hoping the other person shares the same negative feelings
So baby, can we (can we, can we)
Pleading again: Can we be enemies?
Can we be enemies, enemies (enemies)
Repeating the desire for enmity
And everybody asks the same damn questions but I can't explain
Addressing common questions about the breakup without clear answers
Like why you left and why you changed your mind, it's driving me insane
Expressing frustration over the lack of understanding regarding the breakup
Why would you fly out all this way
Puzzled by the other person's decision to travel a long distance
To turn around and walk away?
Questioning the motive behind turning around and leaving
There's something written on your face
Sensing something unspoken through facial expressions
But you won't take the time to say
Not getting a clear verbal explanation
Why you want to let go
Questioning why the person wants to end the relationship
Of all that we've been through
Expressing confusion about the shared experiences
I feel like I don't know
Feeling uncertain about the person's true self
The person I fell for
Reflecting on a changed perception of the person
Now you get to go home
Highlighting the contrast of situations—now separated
While mine has the smell of your clothes
Having reminders of the person in the form of their scent on clothes
In every room that I go
Feeling the impact of the person's presence in every room
Can we (can we, can we)
Repeating the question: Can we be enemies?
Can we be enemies, enemies
Reiterating the desire for enmity
Baby, can we (can we, can we)
Continuing the plea for enmity
Can we be enemies, enemies (enemies)
Stressing the request to be enemies
'Cause I'd rather hate you
Reiterating the preference to harbor hatred over attempting to forget
Than try to forget you
Affirming the choice to hate as a coping mechanism
I hope that you're feeling the same
Expressing hope that the other person reciprocates negative feelings
So baby, can we (can we, can we)
Pleading once more: Can we be enemies?
Can we be enemies, enemies (enemies)
Repeating the desire for enmity
(Enemies, enemies)
Reiterating the term "enemies"
