Pretty, pretty on the fence
In your pretty moment of innocence
You do not see that I see inside
The quiet heart you're trying to hide

Don't hold your head too high
Don't be afraid to cry
Because, you know my dear
It's only fear, it's only fear
Yes, my dear
Do you hear?
It's only fear, it's only fear, it's only fear
Yes, it's only fear, it's only fear, it's only fear
Keeps you locked in here

Now you may believe you are so bright
And you may not see how they confine your sight
And maybe you wake up late at night
Wondering why you feel so tired

Well my dear, let me tell you now
Do you hear?
It's only fear, it's only fear, it's only fear
Yes, it's only fear, it's only fear, it's only fear
Yes, it's only fear, it's only fear, it's only fear
That keeps you locked in here
