Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Holding back the years

Thinkin' of the fear I've had so long

When somebody hears

Listen to the fear that's gone

Strangled by the wishes of pater

Hopin' 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 know

Holding back the tears

'Cause 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

[Verse 3]

Whoa, I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on so tight

[Verse 4]

Well, I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all of those years

And nothing had the chance to be good

'Cause nothing ever could

[Verse 5]

Whoa, I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on

[Verse 6]

Holdin', holdin'

Holdin', holdin' on, my love

I said

Ooh, yeah

That's all I have today

It's all I have to say

That's all I have today

It's all I have to say
