Holding On

[Verse 1]
Weight of love on my shoulders
I thought that it would be easier than this
I found my heart had grown colder
But the warmth of your kiss, I can't dismiss

[Pre-Chorus]
Though my past has left me bruised
I ain't hiding from the truth
When the truth won't let me lie right next to you

[Chorus]
But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Played the part, but I can't fake it
It keeps holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to break it
Heaven knows that I can't shake it

[Post-Chorus]
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on

[Verse 2]
I've seen times that were harder
I remember the taste of bitterness
Won't you help me, my father?
Help me fall in the love that I have missed

[Pre-Chorus]
Though my past has left me bruised
I ain't hiding from the truth
When the truth won't let me lie right next to you

[Chorus]
But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Played the part, but I can't fake it
It keeps holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to break it
Heaven knows that I can't shake it

[Post-Chorus]
Whoa
Whoa
Holding on
Holding on

[Muted trumpet solo]

[Chorus]
But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Played the part, but I can't fake it
It keeps holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to break it
Heaven knows that I can't shake it

[Post-Chorus]
Holding on
Holding on
It keeps holding on
It keeps holding on
It keeps holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
