From the recording marvinsongs
Lyrics
Fear is a thief, in lover’s clothes
He won’t take your body, just plays with your hopes.
Fear is a con man, good with disguise
Slick with a story, smooth with the lies.
Fear is a liar with honest eyes
Whispers sweet nothings, dressed up as wise
Says “Play it safe babe, don’t take the bet”.
But he’s always the dealer, stacking the deck.
Fear is a cheater, who’ll never confess
Says “You can trust me, I’m doing my best”.
But he keeps his hands on the wheel too long
Takes you nowhere, but swears it’s home.
Fear lives next door, with a welcome mat.
Brings you coffee, and a quiet trap.
Fear was my lover, secret and sweet
That’s what made it so hard to leave.
Fear is a gambler with borrowed time
Stacks the odds and calls them mine.
Fear is a liar, I know his face
But I’m finished with him taking my place
Fear is a thief
