Simply Red - Holding Back the Years

Lyrics Holding Back the Years - 2008 Remaster - Simply Red

Holding 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 pater

Hoping for the arm of mater

Get to me, the sooner or later, oh-oh

Holding back the years

Chance for me to escape from all I've known

Holding 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-oh

I'll keep holding on

So tight

Alright, alright

Well, I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all those years

And nothing had the chance to be good

'Cause nothing ever could, oh, yeah

Oh-oh

I'll keep holding on

Holding, holding, holding, ah, la-la-la-la

I say, ooh-yeah

That's all I have today

It's all I have to say
