Holding Back the Years - Simply Red

Holding back the years,

Thinking of the fear Ive had for so long.

When somebody hears,

Listen to the fear thats gone.

Strangled by the wishes of pater,

Hoping for the arm of mater,

Get to me sooner or later,

Nothing ever could, yeah.

Ill keep holding on,

Ill keep holding on,

Ill keep holding on,

Ill keep holding on.

Chance for me to escape from all I know.

Holding back the tears.

Theres nothing here has grown.

Ive wasted all my tears,

Wasted all those years.

Nothing had the chance to be good,

Nothing ever could, yeah.

Ill keep holding on,

Ill keep holding on,

Ill keep holding on,

Ill keep holding on So tight.
