Fear Of Flying

Brandy · Other Songs - Brandy

I look at your beautiful face

But I don't know what lies underneath

And the words seem to fly into space

And they're driving a wedge in between



I'm scared of the risk that I'm taking

While you're pushing me close to the edge

Feel the laws of gravity breaking

As I take that leap of faith



Don't look down, just stand up

I decide who I'm gonna be

I lied to myself, I've given enough

I can't hide behind my fear of flying



(I need you)

My fear flying

(I need you)

I've got a fear of flying

(I need you)

My fear of flying, oh



What happened to your adoration?

Take me to where we began

Give me a little more patience

'Cause it's time I'll understand



Is it too late to bathe in your light?

'Cause I wanna come out of the shade

I'm ready to make it alright

And forgive the mistakes that were made



Don't look down, just stand up

I decide who I'm gonna be

I lied to myself, I've given enough

But I can't hide behind my fear of flying



(I need you)

My fear flying

(I need you)

I've got a fear of flying

(I need you)

My fear of flying, oh whoa



A piece of me could give for free

But it's worthless if we don't have honesty

If we don't have honesty

Oh oh oh, whoa



I know it's hard but if you care

Then we're wingless

And we're floating in the air

And we're floating it in the air



Don't look down, just stand up

I decide who I'm gonna be

I lied to myself, I've given enough

But I can't hide behind my fear of flying



(I need you)

My fear flying

(I need you)

My fear of flying

(I need you)

My fear of flying, oh



Don't look down, just stand up

I decide who I'm gonna be

I lied to myself, I've given enough

But I can't hide behind my fear of flying



(I need you)

My fear of flying

(I need you)

My fear of flying

(I need you)

My fear of flying, oh whoa
