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
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
