Holding Back the Years

Holding back the years,
 thinking of the fear I've had for so long.
 When somebody hears,
 listen to the fear that's gone.
 Strangled by the wishes of pater,
 hoping for the arm of mater,
 Get to me sooner or later...
 Holding back the years,
 chance for me to escape from all I know.
 Holding back the tears,
 there's nothing here has grown.
 I've wasted all my tears,
 Wasted all those years.
 Nothing had the chance to be good,
 Nothing ever could.
 I'll keep holding on,
 I'll keep holding on,
 I'll keep holding on,
 I'll keep holding on
 I'll keep holding on,
 I'll keep holding on
 holding on, holding on, holding on
 So tight.
 I've wasted all my tears,
 Wasted all those years.
 Nothing had the chance to be good,
 Cause, nothing ever could.
 I'll keep holding on,
 I'll keep holding on,
 I'll keep holding on,
 I'll keep holding on,
 holding on, holding on, holding on
 that's all I have today
 that's all I have to say.
