You crash into my day and hijack the scene
Scattering fragments of a peaceful dream
I wish I saw you coming
I wish that I could breathe
It's like you're draggin' down the sky until I feel your weight
Push me to the edge before I fall from grace
One look in the mirror
You're in my face
I’m walking with fear side by side
Out in the open, with no place to hide
Sit on my shoulder, scream in my ear
But I ain’t running, I'm walking with fear
You spin another lie, you want me to believe
Hover in the shadows, think that I can't see
How you twist the truth, tell me who I'll never be
You pull me on a tangent, trip me on the stones
Sell me on disaster 'til it's in my bones
But with one foot in front of the other, I'll make it home
Walking with fear side by side
Out in the open, with no place to hide
You can sit on my shoulder, scream in my ear
I ain't running, I'm walking with fear
I've grown to know you so well
Just like the braver part of myself
And I’m walking with fear side by side
Out in the open, with no place to hide
You can sit on my shoulder, scream in my ear
I ain't running
I'm walking with fear side by side
Out in the open, with no place to hide
You can sit on my shoulder, scream in my ear
I'll keep listening but, as long as I'm breathing
I ain't running, I'm walking with fear
