Story Behind The Song

Sleeping with the Enemy and he/she looks just like you.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
We were fire in the dark,
You lit a spark inside my heart,
But every kiss cut deep like steel,
Love so strong it barely feels real.
You said forever in my ear,
But your eyes were hiding fear,
Every touch, a loaded gun,
I didn't know what you'd become.

(Pre-Chorus)
You hold me close, but I feel the lies,
Your touch is warm, but your soul's gone cold,
Every word's a weapon in disguise,
Still I'm trapped inside your hold.

(Chorus)
I'm sleeping with the enemy,
Fighting love that's killing me,
Every night's a war I lose,
But I crave the pain you choose.
Your lips taste like danger's kiss,
But I can't walk away from this,
I'm sleeping with the enemy,
And the enemy looks like you.

(Verse 2)
You wear your guilt like sweet perfume,
Toxic love fills up the room,
Promises fade at the break of dawn,
But I still wait when you're long gone.
You twist my heart like cigarette smoke,
Burn me slow with every stroke,
And even though I see your sin,
I still let you pull me in.

(Pre-Chorus)
I know the truth but I play blind,
Addicted to the pain you hide,
You love me like a loaded crime,
And I'm doing time tonight.

(Chorus)
I'm sleeping with the enemy,
Fighting love that's killing me,
Every night's a war I lose,
But I crave the pain you choose.
Your lips taste like danger's kiss,
But I can't walk away from this,
I'm sleeping with the enemy,
And the enemy looks like you.

(Bridge)
Maybe I'm cursed, or maybe I'm weak,
You say "I love you," I barely speak,
Caught between heaven and hell,
In your arms, I can't tell.

(Breakdown)
"Enemy... enemy... still loving my enemy."

(Final Chorus)
I'm sleeping with the enemy,
Your heart's my worst destiny,
Every wound you gave, I keep,
I'm in too deep to ever leave.
Yeah, your love's my tragedy,
But I can't escape the memory,
I'm sleeping with the enemy,
And the enemy looks like you.

(Outro)
Whispered, fading
"You're poison in my dreams...
And I still can't leave."
