A Glass Window Between Us

A glass window between us

 

God, I never thought it would come to this

Locked inside a jail cell, our lives so up in the air

A glass window, I can't even touch your face or hold your hand

Sometimes I guess it's better this way, so hard to say good-bye

So here we are face to face, no dear john have I to write

 

Withdrawl from you was painful, but I survived it

I'll never forget the day I held your hand in court

Never felt you so afraid, you were always such a tough guy

Don't know why, but I felt sorry for you that day

Oh yes, I recall the elevator, you were standing there in handcuffs

While we snuck a kiss and said our good-byes and I did cry

 

Bars hold you now, and you must pay the piper what is due

Envelopes sealed with red lipstick, letters that I sent to you

The one that said sealed with a kiss, I really thought I could do it

Wait for you forever, to get your life together, but babe, I can't

Everything has become so very clear to me lately, it's over honey

Each time you have hurt me worse than the time before

Never should have hit me, babe, or got yourself locked away doing time

 

Used and abused drugs, booze and me, now you gotta pay the piper

So long, farewell, good-bye
