Lyrics
0:19Oh ya look at him and see a tortured man
0:22A man with a plan you both cried as it all fell apart
0:30Yeah it broke his heart
0:34You held him close and tried to heal his wounds
0:37But he pushed you away
0:39Something good switched off in his heart
0:45Yeah in his heart
0:48And all that's precious is a stranger now
0:52He's gonna drag you down into his fire
0:57Afraid to leave but you're going nowhere
1:01Like climbing mountains as they just get higher
1:05You write the book
1:07Turn over the page
1:09You say that you're trapped
1:10Baby you built the cage
1:13Yeah you write the book
1:15Gotta pick up your pen
1:16With all the love in your heart
1:19Start living again
1:22You write the book
1:30I don't know who taught you in your life
1:33Who told you this was right to take all
1:37That a bad man can give
1:41That's no way to live
1:45It makes me sad to see what he does to you
1:48It makes me sadder still just to see what you let him do
1:55What you let him do
2:00He's so angry he knows you can take it
2:04He lashes out and he makes you pay
2:08He doesn't know who he's fighting anymore
2:12It's a battle ground unless you say
2:16You write the book
2:18Turn over the page
2:20You say that you're trapped
2:22Baby you built the cage
2:24Yeah you write the book
2:26Gotta and pick up your pen
2:28With all the love in your heart
2:30Start your living again
2:33They'll make it sound so easy
2:37I don't know what's at stake
2:41The first step is always the hardest
2:45To walk away
2:48But that's the one you gotta take
3:07Don't be fighting in his dirty war
3:11You're not his prisoner lying helpless on the floor
3:15You write the book
3:16Turn over the page
3:19You say that you're trapped
3:21But you built the cage
3:23You write the book
3:25So pick up your pen
3:27With love in your heart
3:28You can start living again
3:31You write the book
3:33Turn over the page
3:35You say that you're trapped
3:37But baby you built the cage
3:39Yeah you write the book
