Holding Back the Years

[00:25.08] Holdin' back the years
[00:30.03] Thinkin' of the fear I've had so long
[00:36.03] When somebody hears
[00:41.18] Listen to the fear that's gone
[00:50.26] Strangled by the wishes of pater
[00:55.52] Hopin' for the arms of mater
[01:01.17] Get to me the sooner or later
[01:06.92] Oh-oh
[01:09.80]
[01:20.46] Holdin' back the years
[01:25.80] Chance for me to escape from all I've known
[01:31.57] Holdin' back the tears
[01:37.03] 'Cause nothing here has grown
[01:46.06] I've wasted all my tears
[01:50.76] Wasted all those years
[01:56.51] Nothing had the chance to be good
[02:02.29] Nothing ever could, yeah
[02:07.73] Oh-oh, well
[02:10.43] I'll keep holdin' on
[02:15.57] I'll keep holdin' on
[02:20.63] I'll keep holdin' on
[02:26.63] I'll keep holdin' on
[02:34.95] So tight
[02:38.12]
[02:47.73] Alright
[02:49.69] Oh, now
[02:53.59] Well, I've wasted all my tears
[03:00.39] Wasted all of those years
[03:05.96] And nothing had the chance to be good
[03:11.76] 'Cause nothing ever could, oh yeah
[03:16.53] Oh
[03:19.74] I'll keep holdin' on
[03:25.44] I'll keep holdin' on
[03:30.52] I'll keep holdin' on
[03:35.57] I'll keep holdin' on
[03:41.58] Holdin', holdin, holdin' on
[03:48.30] La-la-la-la-la-la
[03:52.14] I said, "Ooh, yeah"
[03:58.30] That's all I have today
[04:04.67] It's all I have to say
[04:08.80]
