Holding Onto Yesterday

Rick Springfield · Other Songs - Rick Springfield

And I keep holding on to yesterday

I keep holding on enough to say

That I'm wrong

I keep thinking that I'm lonely

But it's only missing you inside

Days that we were once together

Seems we'll never come alive

And I keep holding on to yesterday

I keep holding on enough to say that it's wrong

And I don't know when I'll see you

I can't reach you anymore

Well, if I'd only known I'd need you

Then I'd keep you like before

I keep holding on to yesterday

And I keep holding on enough to say

That I'm wrong

I keep holding on to yesterday

And I keep holding on enough to say

That I'm wrong, I'm wrong

I keep holding on to yesterday

And I keep holding on enough to say

That I'm wrong, I'm wrong

And I keep holding on
