Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought that it would be easier than this
I thought my heart had grown colder
But the warmth of your kiss, I can't dismiss
Though my past has left me bruised
I ain't hiding from the truth
When the truth won't let me lie right next to you
But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Played the part, but I can't fake it
It keeps holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to break it
Heaven knows that I can't shake it
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
I've seen times that were harder
I remember the taste of bitterness
Won't you help me, my father?
Help me fall in the love that I have missed
Though my past has left me bruised
I ain't hiding from the truth
When the truth won't let me lie right next to you
But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Played the part, but I can't fake it
It keeps holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to break it
Heaven knows that I can't shake it
Whoa
Whoa
Holding on
Holding on
But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Played the part, but I can't fake it
It keeps holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to break it
Heaven knows that I can't shake it
Holding on
Holding on
It keeps holding on
It keeps holding on
It keeps holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on

Its 2023, summer is nearly here and this tune stilllllll slaps. Banger. Maybe its time Disclosure made a timely return.🔥🔥🔥🔥

For guys so young Disclosure's understanding of what 'pure' dance music is amazes me. They take so much of everything that is good about House and Garage that was being released way, way before they were probably even born. Use of strings, kick drums, snares, filters etc. They have tapped into the magic formula and produce such great tunes time and time again. Massively impressive tune from the boys again. They never disappoint.

Wonderful comment!!

this tune so much emotion, propper old school vibe.... pure love in this track

This is what music (House / dance) should be.......what it needs to be! It's tragic the soul-less garbage that is passed off as music today. Thankfully some still know or have re-discovered the recipe to create inspirational and motivation tracks!
