Fear
I fear so much
From snakes and airplanes
To a man's loving touch
Why am I afraid?
I just don't know
Maybe I am scared
To just let go...
Afraid to breathe
Afraid to move
Afraid to win
Afraid to lose
I fear the dark
I fear the light
I fear the thoughts
That come to me at night....
I am afraid that I can't love
I am afraid of no one loving me
I fear the gentle yet treacherous waves
Of being a ship out at sea..
Better be safe
And stay on shore
Cause my mind and heart
Can't take anymore.....
I've been hurt
I've been beat
I've been treated
Like a piece of meat
But I've been loved
And I've been hated
But I've loved others
And in turn felt jaded...
Fear...
It holds me back
I miss out on so much
That I keep getting off track
From my destiny
From my life
Fear....
It stabs me like a knife
I want to be loved
I wanted to love
I want to be able to fly
And soar above
Like a bird in flight
With no fears
Wind in my wings
Into the dark and beautiful night...
