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 fate Hopin' for the arms I've made Get to me the sooner or later Holdin' back the years Chants 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 Oh well I'll keep holdin' on I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years Nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could, yeah Oh well I'll keep holdin' on I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years Nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could, yeah I've wasted all those years Nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could, yeah Oh I'll keep holdin' on Holdin' Holdin' Holdin' Oh I said Oh well That's all I have to say It's all I have to say It's all I have to say
