Fear Lyrics - Sia

1 My mother's afraid of the subway

2 It's a living bad dream

3 I hold her hand as the doors close

4 And she pales and stifles a scream

5 Ali's afraid of ad-libbing

6 Of improvising at jams

7 She is not very happy right now

8 And spends all her money on grams

9 Ade is afraid of commitment

10 So Carla dumped him today

11 She is very disappointed

12 She was hoping he'd beg her to stay

13 Ayo, he just wants a girlfriend

14 He's afraid of dying alone

15 He doesn't go out very much

16 Sits at home a lot getting stoned

17 You see, fear is only holding us back

18 Look closely amongst all your peers

19 There is usually one thing that keeps us off track

20 It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

21 Ella is worried about her weight

22 She won't eat in public anymore

23 She is fucking her ex again

24 When they've finished, she sleeps on the floor

25 Nate has a heart of gold

26 But give it away he will not

27 His mother abandoned him at ten

28 It's a pain he has never forgot

29 Mary's afraid of herself

30 Her sentences often cut half

31 She will never give her own opinion

32 She's afraid that people might laugh

33 And I am afraid of sharks

34 I will not swim out past my head

35 And sometimes I worry my boyfriend will die

36 My first love is already dead

37 You see, fear is only holding us back

38 Look closely amongst all your peers

39 There is usually one thing that keeps us off track

40 It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

41 You see, fear is only holding us back

42 Look closely amongst all your peers

43 There is usually one thing that keeps us off track

44 It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

45 Candy is having a baby

46 She fears she will be like her mom

47 Her friends say, "Relax, take a deep breath

48 And march to a different drum"

49 Sachas afraid of her Marco

50 She think's that it's all her fault

51 But if he did what he does to a stranger

52 He'd be locked up and charged with assault

53 You see, fear is only holding us back

54 Look closely amongst all your peers

55 There is usually one thing that keeps us off track

56 It is fear, it is fear, it is fear
