Simply Red
Holding Back The Years
holding back the years
thinking of the fear i've had so long
when somebody hears
listen to the fear that's gone
strangled by the wishes of pater
hoping for the arms of mater
get to meet her sooner or later
i'll keep holding on
i'll keep holding on
holding back the years
chance for me escape from all i've known
holding back the tears
cause nothing here has grown
i've wasted all my tears
wasted all those years
and nothing had the chance to be good
nothing ever could
i'll keep holding on
i'll keep holding on
that's all i have today
that's all i have to say
Ok, so my mom just called...they're coming home tomorrow. No biggie. I've been cleaning all day! Amber and I cleaned the kitchen and got most of my brother's room done. But she has to leave at 4, so the rest is up to me. *sigh* I'm going to try to get the game room done before they get home too. It shouldn't be too hard, but I want to get my brother's room done first. I guess I'll take care of my room eventually. I haven't even started reading my new book. At least I was right about feeling better today! So I'm taking a much deserved break for a bit...been cleaning since 10:30 this morning! But we got a lot accomplished. I'm really glad that Niko and I decided that tonight would be best for him to spend the night! My brother's going to kill me though for cleaning his room. I've decided I'm going to put a sign on his door that says "Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, Happy New Year, Have a nice life." I'm going to be nice and not state what condition it was in before Amber and I got a hold of it. Let's just say, it looks a whole lot better now! So yeah, it's been a busy yet uneventful day so far.
