The Fear Lyrics

Cover art for The Fear lyrics by Ben Howard

I think this song is about a man who is in a relationship and feels that he and his partner are drifting apart and that he close to losing the ones he holds dear (wife, kids, family etc.).

He feels like he's a spare part around her and that he doesn't know why he is still around... that's why his time is a little unlclear.

Inevitably, he want to leave but is living in the confines of fear, the unknown, life without the ones that he loves (or used to love).

My interpretation and absolutely relevant to my life right now because - 'I will become what I deserve'.

With only 650,000 hours on average to live my life, all I want to be is happy - what would you do without the confines of fear?
