Fear Verse 1 Hey, fear… (Yeah…) You knew my name before I did. (Mm…) You whispered, “Don’t,” every time I wanted to live. (Don’t… don’t…) You dressed yourself up like protection, (Oh…) But all you ever gave me was hesitation. (Liar.) You stole years I’ll never get back. (Never back.) Made me mistake silence for strength. (Shh…) You watched me disappear piece by piece. (Fade away…) Then called it keeping me safe. (You called it love.) Pre-Chorus I believed every lie you told. (Every word.) Until I found a voice louder than yours. (Can you hear it?) Chorus I’m sorry I let you take me. (I’m sorry…) I handed you every part of me. (Every part.) I let you build a home inside my head. (Get out…) While you convinced me hope was dead. (Not anymore.) But you can’t take us now. (No, no.) You’ve lost your grip somehow. (Let go.) Every scar you left behind. (I survived.) Only taught me how to fight. (Fight back.) You can haunt the memories. (Go ahead.) You can echo when I sleep. (I hear you…) But you’ll never own this heart again. (Never again.) You can’t take us now. (You can’t…) Verse 2 You hid behind familiar faces. (Coward.) Turned every goodbye into another prison. (Locked away.) You made love feel dangerous. (Too dangerous.) And peace feel like a myth. (Just a dream.) You wanted me small. (Stay down.) You wanted me quiet. (Don’t speak.) You wanted me to believe. (Believe you.) I’d never survive without you. (You lied.) Look at me now. (Look at me…) Bridge You fed on every broken promise. (Every one.) Every tear I cried alone. (Alone…) You thought if you kept me doubting. (Keep doubting.) I’d never find my way back home. (I’m home.) You were loud… (So loud.) But I was louder underneath it all. (I always was.) Final Chorus I’m done letting you define me. (I’m done.) Done wearing your chains like they’re mine to keep. (Break them.) You took enough. You don’t get another day. (Not one more.) You don’t get another dream. (Not mine.) You can’t take us now. (You can’t.) Not the soul I’ve finally found. (Found myself.) Every step I couldn’t make before. (One by one.) Is one I’m taking now. (Watch me.) You’ll always knock. (I know.) But I won’t let you in. (No entry.) You’re no longer where I live. (Not anymore.) So listen closely, fear… (Listen.) You didn’t lose because you got weaker. (No.) You lost… (You lost.) Because I finally stopped believing you. (…You don’t own me anymore.)
