[Verse 1 - Gregory Porter:] 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 - Gregory Porter:] 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 - Gregory Porter & Kem:] 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 - Gregory Porter (Kem):] Holding on (holding on, holding on) Holding on
[Verse 2 - Gregory Porter:] 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 - Gregory Porter & Kem:] 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 - Gregory Porter & Kem:] 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 - Kem:] (Holding on) Holding on, girl I'm holding (Holding on) Holding on, yeah
[Chorus - Gregory Porter & Kem:] 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 - Gregory Porter (Kem):] Holding on (holding on) Holding on (holding on, girl) It keeps holding on (hey) Holding on (you better believe I'm holding) Holding on (hee, girl, hoo, baby) Holding on (I'm holding on, baby) Holding on (holding on) Holding on (holding on) (holding on; you better believe I'm holding)
[Outro - Kem:] You-hoo-hoo (holding on) I'm holding on, girl (Holding on)
