Fears Of A Father Songtext / Lyric

You can go and sing your hymns,

You can go and say your prayers

Find a way to escape

You can go and chase your tail,

Burn the ship, burn the sail

Til your words don't form any shape

You can hide yourself in the drink

You can teach your mind not to think,

Not be frightened to death

But when you look in the mirror

And your eyes become clearer

You'll dig yourself outta this mess






Dying ain't much over living

You'll lose your top billing,

So take second place

Face all the devils who lower your levels

And fix that crooked face

Love of my life

You have my heart

Love of my life

You caught us off guard

Oh the fears of a father don't scare me

I'm ready to love



And now that this star's ascending

I will stop this pretending

And be the best that I can

I've always shot from the hip

Never bitten my lip

It's a trait that you'll soon understand

But I've got a good way to spoil

Before I shuffle off this coil

And feel the air turn thin

Oh if I broke any oath fear of losing you both

Well I just don't know where to begin



Dying ain't much over living

You'll lose your top billing

So take second place

Face all the devils who lower your levels

And fix that crooked face

Love of my life

You have my heart

Love of my life

You caught us off guard

Oh the fears of a father don't scare

I'm ready for love



You won't find me by the streetlights

Or hanging off the rails

Climbing up the steeple or on a bed of nails

Drowning all my sorrows for the sake of saving face

Burning all my bridges

Cause I think they'll light my way

Oh blood of my blood

You have my heart

Love of my life

You caught us off guard

Oh the fears of a father don't scare me

I'm ready to love
