Fear

Sia

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 
Ade is afraid of commitment 
So Carla dumped him today 
She is very disappointed 
She was hoping he'd beg her to stay 
Ayo he just wants a girlfriend 
He's afraid of dying alone 
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 peeps 
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 
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 
Mary's afraid of herself 
Her sentences often cut half 
She will never give her own 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 peeps 
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 peeps 
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 peeps 
There is usually one thing that keeps 
Us off track 
It is fear, It is fear, It is fear
