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 of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater

Get to me the sooner or later

Holding back the years

Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown

I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And 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 of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Cause nothing ever could oh yeah


I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding


That's all I have today
It's all I have to say
