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 arm of mater
Get to me sooner or later
Holding back the years

Chance for me to escape from all I know
Holding back the tears
There's 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 so tight

I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on Holding, holding, holding, yeah
I say it's all I have today It's all I have to say "Holding Back The Years" by Simply Red
