By Our Own Fear

I left and I left it all behind

I left you

I know that I never really really let you go

but oh, I've been trying

back then we could not have understood

the way love worked

then we had only our two hearts

to judge our love by

and oh, how we judged it then

as we struck out into foreign places

tried ourselves against the masses

judged our lives by others' glances

and by our own fear

since then I've been looking long and hard

to find the answers

to the questions we could never

dare to ask then

how I wish we had asked them

as we struck out into foreign places

tried ourselves against the masses

judged our lives by others' glances

and by our own fear

by our own fear

we were walking down a path of darkness

by our own fear

we abandoned those we loved

by our own fear

we left the road that led to freedom

by our own fear...

I left and I left it all behind

I left my heart there

and I'll never get it back until I face you

and the love we left behind

we left our hearts there

and we'll never get them back

until we strike out into foreign places

try ourselves against the masses

don't judge our lives by others' glances

or by our own fear

I left and I left it all behind

I left my heart there

and I'll never get it back

until I face you...
