[Verse 1:]
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
[Pre-Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Post-Chorus:]
Shake it, sh-shake it [8x]
It keeps holding on and on [4x]
[Verse 2:]
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
[Pre-Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Post-Chorus:]
Shake it, sh-shake it [8x]
It keeps holding on and on [4x]
Shake it, sh-shake it [8x]
It keeps holding on and on [4x]
