Lyrics
The bills are pilin up on the breakfast nook
I don't care about nothin, if I try it just hurts
The phone won't stop ringin from those that I owe
I don't answer, and I won't go out the door
I lie in the bed with the covers over my head
At times I imagine what it's like to be dead
No pleasure, no feeling, no joy, no pain
My heart and soul is a black misty rain
My fear stopped me from living
My fear takes what I have
My fear knows what to tell me
My fear's a cool soothing salve
My fear strikes up a bargain
And says remember how it hurt?
My fear gives me chills
And I sweat off my shirt
My fear talks to me sweetly
And says hide here with me
I'll protect you from you
It's your fault you see
My fear is my friend and says remember how it was?
My fear keeps me away from love
It starts off so good it starts off so polite
Hold open the door and take her hand in the night
"Don't step in that puddle, here take my coat"
When she smiles at you, you get that lump in your throat
Love slowly slips away the passion all gone
No more lust, no more wanting, no more love songs
She woke me up one morning said she needs her space
She turned around to say something I couldn't look at her face
I watched her fold her clothes and pack her bags
Stupid me I even help her get together some things she had
A horn sounds she says, "my cab ride is here."
She walks out the door and I stand there, I stand there, I just stand there and welcome back my fear
My fear stopped me from living
My fear takes what I have
My fear knows what to tell me
My fear's a cool soothing salve
My fear strikes up a bargain
And says remember how it hurt?
My fear gives me chills
And I sweat off my shirt
My fear talks to me sweetly
And says hide here with me
I'll protect you from you
It's your fault you see
My fear is my friend and says remember how it was?
My fear keeps me away from love
