While I'm Waiting Here

Lyrics

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
