darlin’ , do not fear what you don’t really know .

alongside my innocence , i laid in bed awake .
conflicted in these chains 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 mantle my heart and was taken down
scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground
and out below the street lamp like an orphan with a halo

your confidence is full as your faith etched in stone .
and 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 on to or to let go
to help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with hope .
darlin’ , do not fear what you don’t really know .

bridge 2 :
’cause it won’t last – your worries will 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 you’re forced 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 .
