I reckon fear is like a, sort ofCreo que el miedo es como una especie de

If you, if you're afraid of something that isn't thereSi tú, si tienes miedo de algo que no está allí

Sometimes I do have fearsA veces tengo miedos

Shaking a bit, like I've seen ghosts or somethingTemblando un poco, como si hubiera visto fantasmas o algo

Sometimes I do have fearsA veces tengo miedos

Sometimes I do have fearsA veces tengo miedos

My mother's afraid of the subwayMi madre le tiene miedo al metro

It's a living bad dreamEs un mal sueño vivo

I hold her hand as the doors closeSostengo su mano cuando las puertas se cierran

And she pales and stifles a screamY ella palidece y ahoga un grito

Ali's afraid of ad-libbingAli tiene miedo de improvisar

Of improvising at jamsDe improvisar en mermeladas

She is not very happy right nowElla no es muy feliz ahora

And spends all her money on gramsY gasta todo su dinero en gramos

And Ade is afraid of commitmentY Ade tiene miedo al compromiso

So Carla dumped him todayEntonces Carla lo dejó hoy

She was very disappointedEstaba muy decepcionada

She was hoping he'd beg her to stayElla esperaba que él le suplicara que se quedara

And Ayo he just wants a girlfriendY Ayo solo quiere una novia

He's afraid of dying aloneTiene miedo de morir solo

But he doesn't go out very muchPero no sale mucho

Sits at home a lot getting stonedSe sienta mucho en casa drogándose

You see fear is only holding us back, holding us backUsted ve que el miedo solo nos detiene, nos detiene

(Look closely amongst all your peers)(Mira de cerca a todos tus compañeros)

There is usually one thing that keeps us off trackPor lo general, hay una cosa que nos mantiene fuera de pista

(It is fear, it is fear, it is fear)(Es miedo, es miedo, es miedo)

You see fear is only holding us back, holding us backUsted ve que el miedo solo nos detiene, nos detiene

(Look closely amongst all your peers)(Mira de cerca a todos tus compañeros)

There is usually one thing that keeps us off trackPor lo general, hay una cosa que nos mantiene fuera de pista

(It is fear, it is fear, it is fear)(Es miedo, es miedo, es miedo)

Ella is worried about her weightElla está preocupada por su peso

She won't eat in public anymoreElla ya no comerá en público

She is fucking her ex againElla está follando a su ex otra vez

When they've finished she sleeps on the floorCuando terminan, ella duerme en el piso

Nate has a heart of goldNate tiene un corazón de oro

But give it away he will notPero regalarlo no lo hará

His mother abandoned him at tenSu madre lo abandonó a las diez

It's a pain he has never forgotEs un dolor que nunca ha olvidado

Mary's afraid of herselfMary tiene miedo de sí misma

Her sentences often cut halfSus oraciones a menudo cortan la mitad

She will never give her own opinionElla nunca dará su propia opinión

She's afraid that people might laughTiene miedo de que la gente se ría

And I am afraid of sharksY tengo miedo a los tiburones

I will not swim out past my headNo voy a nadar más allá de mi cabeza

And sometimes I worry my boyfriend will dieY a veces me preocupa que mi novio muera

My first love is already deadMi primer amor ya esta muerto

You see fear is only holding us back, holding us backUsted ve que el miedo solo nos detiene, nos detiene

(Look closely amongst all your peers)(Mira de cerca a todos tus compañeros)

There is usually one thing that keeps us off trackPor lo general, hay una cosa que nos mantiene fuera de pista

(It is fear, it is fear, it is fear)(Es miedo, es miedo, es miedo)

You see fear is only holding us back, holding us backUsted ve que el miedo solo nos detiene, nos detiene

(It is fear, it is fear, it is fear)(Es miedo, es miedo, es miedo)

Candy is having a babyCandy está teniendo un bebé

She fears she will be like her momElla teme ser como su madre

Her friends say: Relax, take a deep breathSus amigos dicen: relájate, respira hondo

And march to a different drumY marchar a un tambor diferente

Sacha's afraid of her MarcoSacha le tiene miedo a su Marco

She thinks that it's all her faultElla piensa que todo es culpa suya

But if he did what he does to a strangerPero si hizo lo que le hace a un extraño

He'd be locked up and charged with assaultSería encerrado y acusado de asalto

You see fear is only holding us back, holding us backUsted ve que el miedo solo nos detiene, nos detiene

(Look closely amongst all your peers)(Mira de cerca a todos tus compañeros)
