Simply Red – Holding Back The Years Lyrics

Holdin’ 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
Oh

Holdin’ back the years
Chance for me, escape from all I’ve known
Holdin’ 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, ohh, well…

I’ll keep holdin’ on
I’ll keep holdin’ on
I’ll keep holdin’ on
I’ll keep holdin’ on
So tight

All right, oh, now

Well, I’ve wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
‘Cause nothing ever could
Ohh

I’ll keep holdin’ on
I’ll keep holdin’ on
I’ll keep holdin’ on
I’ll keep holdin’ on
Holdin’, holdin on, la-la-la-la-la-la

I said, “Who will?”
That’s all I have today
It’s all I have to say
