My Only Fear Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's hard to be simple when everyone's waiting
Waiting for something or someone to come
If all you'd imagined had been placed in your hands
Would you even know?

[Verse 2]
Wish I were someone, someone who mattered
Now I'm an anchor on the leg of a bird
I can be different and I can still change
But after all, I tried to tell ya
I tried to get it out, let it out

[Chorus]
My only fear is straying and after all I knew
I have no hope in staying
When everything is trying to tеll me

[Verse 3]
Life is a game that no onе is winning
Blindfold charades that candy-coat lies
Someday you'll see that the problem was me
And that I had to leave your side

[Chorus]
Yeah, my only fear is straying and after all I knew
I have no hope in staying
When everything is trying
I want some peace and quiet
[Bridge]
I've come to the crossroads and I'm standing tall
Might bear no armor but I'm here after all
What more can be said for the few who've been lead
By something different, something different
My only fear, my only fear, my only fear, yeah
Is trying

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
