    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
