Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Weight of love on my shoulders
I thought that it would be easier
Than this
I thought my heart had grown colder
But the warmth of your kiss
I can't dismiss
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Playing 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
[Verse 4]
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Whoa
Whoa
Holding on
Holding on
[Verse 9]
But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Playing 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
[Verse 10]
Holding on
Holding on
It keeps holding on
It keeps holding on
It keeps holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on...
