[Verse 1]
You held me down, you took control
And I did because I didn't know
Jealous, lonely
Bought all the lies you sold me
You held me down, you took control

[Chorus]
Dear fear
How did I get here?
How do I let go when you are all I've ever known?
So long, dear fear
I wasted enough years
I'm scared out of my mind
But I will never know unless I try
So this is goodbye dear, fear, fear, fear

[Verse 2]
I'll take my chances on my own
Learn to face the night alone
'Cause I'll get stronger
Don't need you any longer
I'll take my chances on my own

[Chorus]
Dear fear
How did I get here?
How do I let go when you are all I've ever known?
So long, dear fear
I wasted enough years
I'm scared out of my mind
But I will never know unless I try
So this is goodbye dear, fear, fear, fear
[Bridge]
Hiding so no one could find me
I'll leave it behind me
And never look back

[Chorus]
Dear fear
How did I get here?
How do I let go when you are all I've ever known?
So long, dear fear
I wasted enough years
I'm scared out of my mind
But I will never know unless I try
So this is goodbye dear, fear, fear, fear
Fear, fear, fear

[Outro]
Hiding so no one could find me
I'll leave it behind me
And never look back
