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 jar

I long to touch your skin

I long to let the sunshine in

Instead im trapped here inside

As a little more of me dies

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 inside my bell jar

I lift the lid and sniff the air

I feel the sun on my skin

And the wind in my hair

I let you in, I let you in

I have to love you from afar

Trapped inside my bell jar

I have to love you from afar

Trapped inside my bell jar
