HOLDING BACK THE YEARS           SIMPLY RED



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 MEET HER 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

(AND) NOTHING HAD THE CHANCE TO BE GOOD

('CAUSE) NOTHING EVER COULD YEAH

OH WELL I'LL KEEP HOLDING ON

I'LL KEEP HOLDING ON

I'LL KEEP HOLDING ON

I'LL KEEP HOLDING ON SO TIGHT
