Lyrics for Scared Of Fear

Oh, did I say something wrong? Oh, did I walk out of step? To you, do I still belong? Do I have to be scared? Oh, I'm not saying I know, it's all feeling unclear We all like control, I surrender to you, dear You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we had our own scene Hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself 'cause you hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we used to believe There's something I should've known? Was I acting too proud? Oh, in my weakness, did I somehow get too loud? Oh, can I get you alone? Oh, let me fall at your feet Why must I be compelled to admit defeat? Oh, you're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we were our own scene Hurting yourself, nothing to tell Your secret is well and safe with me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to crash, we used to believe I hear the voices calling, hear the voices calling All around my head, all around my head Hear the voices calling, oh, again they're calling All around my head, have I lost my friend? Is this what we've become? Oh, one last setting sun I'll give, but I can't give up, I'll live, not long enough To stop these voices calling, stop the voices calling All around my head, as if you never left You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we had our own scene Hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself 'cause you hurt me We used to laugh, we used to dream We used to dance, we used to believe
