Holding Back the Years

Holding back the years

Thinking of the fear I've had for so long

When somebody hears

Listen to the fear that's gone

Strangled by the wishes of pater

Hoping for the arms of mater

Getting me to sooner or later

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding back the years

Chance for me to escape from all I've known

Holding back the tears

Because nothing here has grown

I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all those years

Nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could yeah

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding back the years

Thinking of the fear I've had for so long

When somebody hears

Listen to the fear that's gone

I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all those years

Nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could yeah

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on
