Sia Lyrics
"Fear"

I reckon fear is like a, sort of
If you, if you're afraid of something that isn't there
Sometimes I do have fears

Shaking a bit, like I've seen ghosts or something
Sometimes I do have fears
Sometimes I do have fears

My mother's afraid of the subway, it's a living bad dream
I hold her hand as the doors close and she pales and stifles a scream
Ali's afraid of ad-libbing, of improvising at jams
She is not very happy right now and spends all her money on grams

And Ade is afraid of commitments so Carla dumped him today
She was very disappointed, she was hoping he'd beg her to stay
And Ayo he just wants a girlfriend, he's afraid of dying alone
But he doesn't go out very much, sits at home a lot getting stoned

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

Ella is worried about her weight, she won't eat in public anymore
She is fucking her ex again, when they've finished she sleeps on the floor
And Nate has a heart of gold but give it away he will not
His mother abandoned him at ten, it's a pain he has never forgot

And Mary's afraid of herself, her sentences often cut half
She will never give her opinion, she's afraid that people might laugh
And I am afraid of sharks, I will not swim out past my head
And sometimes I worry my boyfriend will die, my first love is already dead

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

Candy is having a baby, she fears she will be like her mom
Her friends say relax, take a deep breath and march to a different drum
Sachas afraid of her Marco, she think's that it's all her fault
But if he did what he does to a stranger
He'd be locked up and charged with assault

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

Holding us back, holding us back
Holding us back, holding us back
Holding us back, holding us back
Holding us back, holding us back
