Holding On (Duet Version)

[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)
