Oh fear don't hold me back again
I lost my battles for you
Oh fear, don't tell me silence speaks
I know that can't be true
I saw that you're not coming
And watched the train pass me by
I saw that fire burning
Only to let it dim and die
Oh friend, I gave you everything
With my solitary heart
I turned and walked away from you
And crawled back into the dark
I saw that summer coming
And watched that summer pass me by
And I saw that flower growing
Only to let it wilt and die
When I turn all the lights out
Nothing's as real as before
We're miles apart
Hand in hand looking out to sea
From the shore
When the night takes over
And the hours seem to stop
And you
I close the door
And forget about all the things
I've never said to you
Oh fear, don't hold me back again
I lost my battles for you
Oh fear, don't tell me silence speaks
I know that can't be true
