My Hands Are Tied

She came her to see me today

In prison where I have to stay

But this time she came here

To tell me goodbyePretending that I understood

I held back the tears best I could

But I know that she knew

I wanted to cry'Cause my hands are tied

I'm locked here inside

I want her, I need her, I love her

But my hands are tiedHer visits kept my world alive

Our love found the way to survive

But now it's all over

I've lost her for goodShe waited with arms open wide

Till somebody else stepped inside

But I know she waited

As long as she could'Cause my hands are tied

I'm locked here inside

I want her, I need her, I love her

But my hands are tied
