The Bell Jar

i think about your kiss, your touch
before it hurts me too much
i try and remember the way we were
in the days long before the bell jar

i long to touch your skin
i long to let the sunshine in
instead i'm trapped here inside
and a little more of me dies

i have to love you from afar
trapped here inside my bell jar
i have to love you from afar
trapped here inside my bell jar

i live inside a gilded cage
i'm elderly before my age
i gave away my freedom
i couldn't live out there with them

i have to love you from afar
trapped here inside my bell jar
i have to love you from afar
trapped here inside my bell jar

i lift the lid and sniff the air
i feel the sun on my skin
i feel the wind in my hair
i let you in, i let you in

i have to love you from afar
trapped here inside my bell jar
i have to love you from afar
trapped here inside my bell jar
