How to Fear

They taught you how to count your time,

And how reason but you, don’t know how to rhyme,

They taught you how to live within the lines,

The ones on your face can tell that.

Oh…

Do you wanna help me?

I can’t hear you breathing cause you don’t act like you’re alive.

Do you wanna notice me?

Do you even want to care?

 

Chorus:

And why’s it so hard, to admit that you’re wrong,

Forget the past and past mistakes,

Learn how to count your stars,

Take the chances they told you not to take.

 

They can teach you how to dot your i’s

But never how to open them,

They can teach you how to stay so quiet,

But never how to love out loud,

I want to be the one,

To show you how to fear,

And still live everyday, just the same.

But I need to show me that you care.

Do you want to care?

 

Chorus:

But why’s it so hard, to admit that you’re wrong,

Forget the past and past mistakes,

Learn how to count your stars,

Take the chances they told you not to take.
