Vices that I mix

No, they can't fix the type of silence that this is

But I can't take another lifeless empty kiss

Still I keep pushing back the time to call it quits

When I hold you

I get the feeling I don't know you

I get the feeling

It's not love that keeps us holding on

It's not love that keeps us holding on

Ah, ah

It's the fear of

It's the fear of being alone

Got me staying when I know

Ah, ah

It's the fear of

It's the fear of being alone

Got me never letting go

Ah, ah

(Being alone, it's the fear of being alone)

Easy as it is

The risk of wasted time is keeping me convinced

I shouldn't go ahead and give you up like this

And I really, really wish

I didn't have to make excuses

'Cause I'm scared to find out what the truth is

'Cause I'm scared to find out

It's not love that keeps us holding on

It's not love that keeps us holding on

Ah, ah

It's the fear of

It's the fear of being alone

Got me staying when I know

Ah, ah

It's the fear of

It's the fear of being alone

Got me never letting go

Ah, ah

Ah, ah

It's the fear of

It's the fear of being alone

Got me staying when I know

Ah, ah

It's the fear of

It's the fear of being alone

Got me never letting go

Ah, ah
