holding back the years thinking of the fear i’ve had for so long when somebody hears listen to the fear that’s gone holding back the years chance for me to escape from all i’ve known holding back the tears cuz nothing here has grown and i’ll keep holding on i’ll keep holding on i’ll keep holding on i’ll keep holding on i’ve wasted all my tears wasted all those years and nothing had the chance to be good nothing ever could and i’ll keep holding on i’ll keep holding on i’ll keep holding on i’ll keep holding on
