Holding Back the Years

[00:25.10] Holdin' back the years
[00:30.02] Thinkin' of the fear I've had so long
[00:36.08] When somebody hears
[00:41.16] Listen to the fear that's gone
[00:50.22] Strangled by the wishes of pater
[00:55.42] Hopin' for the arms of mater
[01:01.13] Get to me the sooner or later
[01:06.99] Oh-oh
[01:09.88]
[01:20.48] Holdin' back the years
[01:25.85] Chance for me to escape from all I've known
[01:31.55] Holdin' back the tears
[01:37.02] 'Cause nothing here has grown
[01:46.05] I've wasted all my tears
[01:50.70] Wasted all those years
[01:56.59] Nothing had the chance to be good
[02:02.27] Nothing ever could, yeah
[02:07.79] Oh-oh, well
[02:10.45] I'll keep holdin' on
[02:15.59] I'll keep holdin' on
[02:20.62] I'll keep holdin' on
[02:26.56] I'll keep holdin' on
[02:34.96] So tight
[02:38.13]
[02:47.72] Alright
[02:49.65] Oh, now
[02:53.56] Well, I've wasted all my tears
[03:00.34] Wasted all of those years
[03:05.99] And nothing had the chance to be good
[03:11.75] 'Cause nothing ever could, oh yeah
[03:16.59] Oh
[03:19.73] I'll keep holdin' on
[03:25.44] I'll keep holdin' on
[03:30.59] I'll keep holdin' on
[03:35.56] I'll keep holdin' on
[03:41.53] Holdin', holdin, holdin' on
[03:48.34] La-la-la-la-la-la
[03:52.19] I said, "Ooh, yeah"
[03:58.35] That's all I have today
[04:04.66] It's all I have to say
[04:08.79]
