Fear of Being Alone (Alternate Version)

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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)

[Chorus]
It's the fear of, it's the fear of being alone
Got me staying when I know (Ah)
It's the fear of, it's the fear of being alone
Got me never letting go (Ah)

[Verse 2]
Easy as it is
The risk of wasted time is keeping me convincеd
I shouldn't go ahead and give you up like this
And I rеally, really wish

[Pre-Chorus]
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)

[Chorus]
It's the fear of, it's the fear of being alone
Got me staying when I know (Ah)
It's the fear of, it's the fear of being alone
Got me never letting go (Ah)

[Outro]
(Ah)
It's the fear of, it's the fear of being alone
Got me never letting go (Ah)
