Holding back the years 

Thinking of the fear 

I've had so long 

When somebody hears 

Listen to the fear that's gone 



Strangled by the wishes of pater 

Hoping for the arms of mater 

Get to me the sooner or later 



Holding back the years 

Chance for me to escape from all and all

Holding back the tears 

Cause nothing here has grown



I've wasted all my tears 

Wasted all those years 

And nothing had the chance to be good 

Nothing ever could  



I'll keep holding on (X4) 

So tight 

Holding, holding, holding



I've wasted all my tears 

Wasted all of those years 

And nothing had the chance to be good 

Cause nothing ever could oh yeah 



I'll keep holding on (X8)
