holding back the years
Kenne Blessin Lyrics

Holding back the years
Refraining myself from expressing my true feelings and years of pain.

Thinking of the fear I've had so long
Reflecting on how fear has been the driving force of my life so far.

When somebody hears
Hoping that someone will finally listen to me.

Listen to the fear that's gone
Letting go of the fear that has been holding me back.

Strangled by the wishes of pater
Feeling suffocated by my father's expectations.

Hoping for the arms of mater
Yearning for the comfort of my mother's embrace.

Get to me the sooner or later
Knowing that I'll eventually overcome my struggles.

Holding back the tears
Trying not to cry and show vulnerability.

Chance for me to escape from all I know
An opportunity for me to break free from the things that have been holding me down.

'Cause nothing here has grown
Realizing that I haven't made any progress in my life so far.

I've wasted all my tears
Feeling regretful for crying over things that didn't matter.

Wasted all those years
Regretting the missed opportunities and time wasted.

Nothing had the chance to be good
Things couldn't improve because of my fear and lack of action.

Nothing ever could, yeah
Acknowledging that things didn't change because of my reluctance to take chances.

I'll keep holding on
Promising to persevere despite the hardships.

I'll keep holding on, so tight
Determined to hold on tight to my dreams and aspirations.

Well I've wasted all my tears
Repeatedly lamenting over the things that didn't go well.

And nothing had the chance to be good
I missed the window of opportunity for things to take a positive turn.

It's all I have today
My past struggles are a part of who I am today.

It's all I have to say
My experiences have shaped my thoughts and words.
