Angie Stone - Holding Back the Years

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

[TheAithWONDER]

Do yall hear that Organ going to church in the prelude?

[trannyniggr]

@tryvecta thats the point. its bland, boring, useless, completly exchangeable in instruments as in vocals

[trannyniggr]

@jriley1992 just what I said :) this is a boring bar song.. original is a romantic, grooving classic

[OctavianTrium]

@trannyniggr If you do not like the song why comment? Hit the thumbs down and get to steppin. I get bored with people, loose term, commenting negatively about what ever. If you do not like it move on. The rest of us will appreciate it, the song and your absence for the posting board. My apologises to the board ya'll I just had to let it go.

@rockanne okk, thanxx its still confusing.. maybe i should read more abt whats it talking about. it just seems confusing

[rockanne]

@nsatiablelov3thang2 see Holding_Back_the_Years on Wikipedia: "Frontman of the group [Simply Red], Mick Hucknall, wrote the song when he was seventeen, while living at his father's house. The chorus did not come to him until many years later. His mother left the family when he was three; the upheaval caused by this event inspired him to write the song."
