Holding Back The Years Lyrics - Singles - Angie Stone

Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh 

Oh yeah, uh-huh 

Listen 

Holding back the years 

Thinking about the fear I've had so long 

Will somebody here listen 

Listen to the fear that's gone 

Strangled by the wishes I begged for 

Hoping for the unmade for 

To get to me the sooner or later 

Oh Lord 

Ooh 

Holding back the years 

Chance for me to escape from all I know 

And uh holding back the tears yeah 

Cause nothing here is wrong, oh Lord 

I've wasted all my tears yeah 

(Ain't no reason, no) 

Wasted all those years 

(Too many, too many they just go by) 

Nothing had the chance to be good, no, no 

Nothing ever could, oh no 

But I'll keep holding on 

(Gotta keep holding on) 

I'll keep holding on 

(Never let go no, no, no) 

I'll keep holding on 

(Gotta keep holding on) 

I'll keep holding on 

Take your time, take your time 

Suga take your time 

Take your time 

Take your time, take your time 

Suga take your time 

Take your time 

Oh now 

I've wasted all my tears 

Wasted all those, those lonely, lonely years 

Nothing had the chance to be good 

Nothing ever could 

I'll keep holding on 

(Gotta keep holding on) 

I'll keep holding on 

(Never let go no, no, no) 

I'll keep holding on 

(Gotta keep holding on) 

I'll keep holding on 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Gotta just keep, keep 

Keep holding on 

No matter how tired 

Gotta just keep, keep 

Keep pressing on 

As weary as it may seem... (repeat 4x) 

Think it's a love song 

Pull back, pulsate 

Gonna keep holding on 

Never, never, never let go 

Oh yeah 

I'll keep holding on
