Fear Of Failure

(album: Through A Dark Wood - 2020)

I don't wanna lie
I don't know what I'm doing anymore
Is there something to even live for?
Never did believe
Never could
Though it'd be nice to

Fear of failure
Fear of failure
Fear of failure
Fear of failure

There's always been this thing
I've had this stage-fright
It's kept me from the ring
Hate the spotlight
And I don't wanna sing
But I have to
But I have to
But I have to

Fear of failure
Fear of failure

And I have to be brave
Even though I'm still afraid
I have to be brave
Even though I'm still afraid
Cause there's nowhere else to go
Can't pretend that I don't know
Hold my hand up to the glow
And just fade into the shadows

Careful what I say
I just want to hide myself away
And pretend that everything is fine
If I succeed then
Maybe then it will be
Then it will be

Saw a photograph today
What I looked like moving cross your stage
I could see the lie behind the pose
Now I see what you saw
It wasn't working
It wasn't working

Fear of failure
Fear of failure

So I have to be brave
Even though I'm still afraid
I have to be brave
Have to be brave
Cause even if there's nothing

I still want to be happy
And I want you to be happy

So I have to be brave
Have to be brave
Have to be brave
Have to be brave
