Bilingual
She came here 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 are tied
I'm locked here inside
I want her, I need her, I love her
But my hands are tied
Her visits kept my world alive
Our love found a way to survive
But now it's all over, I've lost her for good
She waited with arms open wide
'Til 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
