Josephine Vander Gucht - Fear Of... lyrics

Bum ba da da-bum ba da da da-bum
Bum ba da da-bum ba da da da-bum
Bum ba da da-bum ba da da da-bum

If I invent a weather
That could defy all the clouds
Would people stop wondering whether
It will rain?
'Cause time spent speculating, to me
Is time just wasted, to me
Is time just lost for other games

If I could turn back all of our days
Would you still know my face?
Would you still know my face?
And if I could turn back all of these years
Would all of our moments be buried by fear?
Buried by fear?

Could I invent a muscle?
To pump life around my bones?
To beat instead of this heart
Shape beast I loath?
For surely being heartless
Would avoid all of those things
The poets claim to be the route of all?

If I could turn back all of our days
Would you still know my face?
Would you still know my face?
And if I could turn back all of these years
Would all of our moments be buried by fear?
Buried by fear?

Fear to laugh and fear to cry
And fear of knowing what it means to die
And fear of hoping and fear of choking
And fear of loving fear of trying
To be someone that you're not
An being caught out and being left at a loss
And fear of knowing
That these feelings deep inside
Are always better bottled
Than hurt so much to hide
'Cause all you want to do
Is shout out that you're scared
And take comfort in the fact
That maybe someone else is scared too
But what if it's just me?
What if no one else is fearful it's just you
And it's just me

If I invent a secret
Will you keep it to yourself?
Will you keep it locked up in your mouth?
And will you never spit it out?
If I tell you that I love you
That you're the one for me?
Although we haven't spoken for
So very many weeks

And if I tell you that I hate you
That you've made into a shell
I am pretty on the outside
But inside me there is hell
For you can hear the waves
And you can hear the sea but in reality
It's a beauty you can't see
And I'm down on my knees down on my knees
If I invent a secret if I invent a secret
If I invent a secret
(If I invent, if I invent)
If I invent a secret
(If I invent, if I invent)
(If I invent a secret oh
If I invent a secret) if I invent a secret
(If I invent a secret oh
If I invent a secret) if I invent a secret
(If I invent a secret oh
If I invent a secret)
If I invent a secret, secret
(If I invent a secret oh
If I invent a secret)

If I invent a secret
Will you keep it to yourself?
And will you keep it locked up in your mouth
And will you never spit it out
