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 train coming
And watched that train pass me by
I saw that fire burning
Only to let it dim and die

Oh friend, I gave you everything
But 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
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
Where miles apart looking out to sea
Looking up to see from the shore
When the night takes over
And the hours seem to start anew
I close the door and forget about
All the things I 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
I know that can't be true
