Holding Back The Years

Holding back the years

Thinking of the fear I've had so long

When somebody hears

Listen to the fear that's gone



Strangled by the wishes I've paid for

Hoping for the arms I'm made for

Get to me the sooner or later



Holding back the years

A 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 of those years

Nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could, oh, oh



I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on



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, oh



I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

On and on and on and on

And on and on, and on



I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on, holding on

That's all I gotta say

I'll keep holding on



Strangled by the wishes I've paid for

I'll keep holding on

Longing for the arms I'm made for

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on, holding on



I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on
