She came her to see me today in prison where I have to stay But this time she came here to tell me goodbye Pretending that I understood I held back the tears best I could But I know that she knew I wanted to cry.
'Cause my hands're tied I'm locked here inside I want her, I need her, I love her But my hands're tied.
Her visits kept my world alive our love found the way to survive But now it's all over I've lost her for good She waited with arms open wide till somebody else stepped inside But I know she waited as long as she could.
'Cause my hands're tied I'm locked here inside I want her, I need her, I love her But my hands're tied.
