When I arrived in my old set of clothes
I was half a world away from my home
And I was hunted by the wolves
And I was heckled by the crows
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Alongside my innocence I laid in bed awake
Conflicted and estranged with the impetus of age
But like a phantom she crept across the floor and out the window
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
From its place on the mantel my heart was taken down
Scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground
And I below the streetlamp like an orphan with a halo
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Cuz it won't last
Worries'll pass
All your troubles they don't stand a chance
And sometimes it takes more than a lifetime to know
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Your confidences fall as your faith etched in stone
Neither could comfort you from the wild unknown
So bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in the snow
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
If you have a broken heart or a battered soul
Find something to hold onto until they go
To help you through the hard nights
Like a flask filled with hope
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Cuz it won't last
Your worries'll pass
All your troubles they don't stand a chance
And it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the most
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Sometimes your path is marked in the sky
Sometimes it falls to fit in between the lines
Sometimes all that you can do is say no
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
I said when I arrived in my old set of clothes
I was half a world away from my home
And I was hunted by the wolves
And I was heckled by the crows
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
I said Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
We said Darlin' do not fear?
