Oh ya look at him
and see a tortured man
A man with a plan you both cried
as it all fell apart
Yeah it broke his heart
You held him close and tried
to heal his wounds
But he pushed you away
Something good switched
off in his heart
Yeah in his heart
And all that's precious
is a stranger now
He's gonna drag you
down into his fire
Afraid to leave
but you're going nowhere
Like climbing mountains
as they just get higher
You write the book
Turn over the page
You say that you're trapped
Baby you built the cage
Yeah you write the book
Gotta pick up your pen
With all the love in your heart
Start living again
You write the book
I don't know
who taught you in your life
Who told you this was right
to take all that a bad man can give
That's no way to live
It makes me sad to see
what he does to you
It makes me sadder still just to see
what you let him do
What you let him do
He's so angry
he knows you can take it
He lashes out and he makes you pay
He doesn't know
who he's fighting anymore
It's a battle ground unless you say
You write the book
Turn over the page
You say that you're trapped
Baby you built the cage
Yeah you write the book
Gotta and pick up your pen
With all the love in your heart
Start your living again
They'll make it sound so easy
I don't know what's at stake
The first step is always the hardest
To walk away
But that's the one you gotta take
Don't be fighting in his dirty war
You're not his prisoner
lying helpless on the floor
You write the book
Turn over the page
You say that you're trapped
But you built the cage
You write the book
So pick up your pen
With love in your heart
You can start living again
You write the book
Turn over the page
You say that you're trapped
But baby you built the cage
Yeah you write the book
Gotta pick up your pen
With all the love in your heart
Start living again
You write the book
Turn over the page
You say that you're trapped
But baby you built the cage
Yeah you write the book
Gotta pick up your pen
With all the love in your heart
Start living again
You write the book
Turn over
You write the book
You say that you're trapped
But you built the cage
You write the book
You write the book
Pick up your pen
You write the book
You write the book
Start living
You write the book
You write the book
Turn over
You write the book
You say you're trapped
But you built the cage
You write the book
You write the book
Turn over
You write the book
But you say you're trapped
You write the book
You write the book
