It's been over 30 days I've not received your letter

My fingernails are chewed down to the bone

So many different ways I've tried to say I'm sorry

While I'm left here in this 8 by 10 alone

It's not the four walls moving in that tortures me

It's not the cold cement or shivers down my spine

It's just them visions in my head that make me paranoid

And wonder if when I get out will you be mine

I never should have treated you so bad my love I'm sorry

I'm broken I can see that now it's true

My picket fence has turned to razor wire and now I'm awaiting trial

For things you have to know I did not do

If I could get a word with you I'd be just fine

Or any envelope with both your name and mine

Would be enough to keep me going

In a world where I'm left knowing that

There's something more to live for just outside

Seems like the last time, Feels like the first

Though I've had bad days this has to be my worst

I'm left thinking of you dear

While I'm waiting here

I haven't seen the sun since it rested on your shoulder

While we walked along that vacant riverside

They carried me away to a place where I'll get older

If I cannot prove to them you never died

Seems like the last time, Feels like the first

Though I've had bad days this has to be my worst

I'm left thinking of you dear

While I'm waiting here

Seems like the last time, Feels like the first

Though I've had bad days this has to be my worst

I'm left thinking of you dear

While I'm waiting here
