Holding Back the Years Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
[Bridge]
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later
[Verse 2]
Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
'Cause nothing here has grown
[Pre-Chorus]
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah, oh
[Chorus]
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
So tight
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
'Cause nothing ever could, oh, yeah
Oh...
[Chorus]
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding
[Outro]
Ahh, la-la, la-la, la-la
I say ooh yeah
That's all I have today
It's all I have to say
