Sia - Fear lyrics

[Interlude] 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 [Verse 1] 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 commitment 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 [Chorus] 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) [Verse 2] Ella is worried about her weight She won't eat in public anymore She is f**ing 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 [Chorus] 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) [Verse 3] 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 Sacha's afraid of her Marco She thinks that it's all her fault But if he did what he does to a stranger He'd be locked up and charged with a**ault [Chorus] 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)
