Fear’s Bed (Fear’s Fck) - A1

Spanish 2 step, Pop Rock, Post-Britpop, Britpop Dark Blues

Verse 1

Like a thief in the middle of the night
Fear slipped in uninvited 
Didn’t come with a gun or a smoking flame
Just a thousand tiny cuts that all looked the same

I met fear inside my lover’s eyes,
Not because we didn’t love, but because she’d survived.
An ex left her holding broken promises,
So she built us a house where the windows stayed chained.

Pre-Chorus

And over time she feared I didn’t love her enough.
Feared I’d leave when life got rough.
Feared I’d become another goodbye.
I spent the last years of our love trying to outrun that lie.

Chorus

My shiny star… why’d you kill us with your fear? I argued with your fears for years. Till silence slowly volunteered. I never found the words you needed… Till after we had disappeared.

We became a sad song nobody wrote, A love that slowly lost its throat. Like a thief in the middle of the night, Fear killed me… a thousand slices over time.

Verse 2

Take your foot off my back with your fear. Can’t you hear I’m still standing here?
Don’t sit me down. Don’t box me in. Don’t teach me how to love a smaller wind.
 My wheels were made to chase the miles,
Not gather dust behind fear’s walls.
Your fear filled every quiet room, Turned whispered doubts into certain truths.

Friends drifted away. Roads disappeared. Our whole world slowly shrank to fit your fear.
I watched my own horizons fold.  I wasn’t choosing less of life— I was surrendering it one compromise at a time.

Pre-Chorus

I respected where your scars began. God knows I tried to understand. But every time I calmed one storm, Another one was already born.

Chorus

My shiny star… why’d you kill us with your fear? I argued with your fears for years. Till silence slowly volunteered. I never found the words you needed… Till after we had disappeared.

We became a sad song nobody sings, Two broken hearts on broken strings. Like a thief in the middle of the night, Fear killed me… a thousand slices over time.

Bridge

I wasn’t dying all at once.
I died by faded shades.
I became a quieter man. A safer man. A smaller man.
Alive enough to breathe. Too empty for tomorrow to call.

I became someone I wouldn’t recognize. A mouse hiding from the light I used to chase.
My spirit still breathing… But no longer chasing what made me alive.
I loved you.
I just didn’t know it well enough to show it.
By the time I learned love’s language…
I was already living love’s goodbye.

Final Chorus

My shiny star… I still reach for your light.
Even though you’re somewhere beyond tonight.
You kept me down, believing you’d keep us safe.
But I wasn’t made to coast—
I was made to spend every mile I’ve got.
I’d rather wear out than simply remain.
I’d rather burn out than quietly fade.
If this story ends, let it end with me running
Toward the life I believed in—
Not standing still…
Waiting out fear
To finally say…
“I did it the alive way.”

My shiny star…
I finally learned the love I couldn’t show.
I’m just so sorry…
It arrived too late.

Fear didn’t just steal our marriage.
It stole the man I was.
And sadly, it took losing you
To finally find the man I could become.

The man I wish I had been for you.
