Hold Back the Tears

So sad, but there's nothing that I can do
Is it so bad you forget every word I've spoken to you
Love heals when it touches you down inside
Why then are you looking for somewhere to hide

You gotta hold back the tears
Soon you will discover
Maybe there could be someone
Who cares for you
You gotta hold back the tears
You don't have to say never
Love will come to those
Who are prepared to give it back

Time will never be on your side
Listen, could be your only chance to survive
This love is waiting to call you home
Knowing you'll never be on your own

You gotta hold back the tears
Soon you will discover
Maybe there could be someone
Who cares for you
You gotta hold back the tears
You don't have to say never
Love will come to those
Who are prepared to give it back

If this is all you're ever gonna be
Well, is it all worthwhile
There is so much that I want you to see
It could be all worthwhile

You gotta hold back the tears
Soon you will discover
Maybe there could be someone
Who cares for you
You gotta hold back the tears
You don't have to say never
Love will come to those
Who are prepared to give it back

Hold back, hold back the tears, hold back
Hold back, hold back the tears, hold back

Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you
Ooh-ooh...

Hold back, hold back the tears, hold back

Ooh, don't you listen to what they say

Hold back, hold back the tears, hold back
Hold back, hold back the tears, hold back
