In this soulful track, the lyrics delve into the struggle of grappling with past pain while trying to embrace current love. The protagonist feels weighed down by previous heartaches, making it difficult to fully commit to new relationships despite genuine attempts. The recurring theme of "holding on" symbolizes both the persistence of past scars and the effort to maintain a grip on present love. This internal battle highlights a universal human experience—wrestling with old wounds when trying to forge new connections, and the realization that moving forward often involves confronting what we've been trying to leave behind.
Holding On
Lyrics
Weight of love on my shoulders
I thought that it would be easier than this
I found 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
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
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
It keeps holding on and on
It keeps holding on and on
It keeps holding on and on
It keeps holding on and 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
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
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it,
It keeps holding on and on
It keeps holding on and on
It keeps holding on and on
It keeps holding on and on
Sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
(It keeps holding on and on
It keeps holding on and on
It keeps holding on and on
It keeps holding on and on)
