Des'ree – Holding On For Dear Life lyrics
How has it all come to this?
All the tears I can't keep from crying
Where did it all go so wrong?
Depleted from trying

How did it all get so bad?
I remember the joy and laughter
It's all so sad - no happy ever after

Clouds brewin' for another storm
My heart is aching
The pain, it keeps me warm
The vow is breaking, the vow is breaking

All I can see is the dark
Inside I'm slowly drowning
I'm so afraid - nightmares seize my day
Take it one day at a time, cause I can't go any faster
What's yours was mine - I miss you

Clouds brewin' for another storm
My heart is aching
The pain, it keeps me warm
The vow is breaking

I'm holding on - holding on for dear life
I'm holding on - holding on for dear life
I'm holding on - holding on for dear life
I'm holding on - holding on for dear life
