you told me this would all be over if i just cooperated
you told me no one would get hurt if i just do what you say yeah
so im driving scared taking you wherever you want to go
though its obvious to everyone i don't think you know

(chorus)
That i'm a hostage, hostage
keeping you safe and secure
i think you lost it
i'll stick around out of fear of what you'd do if i don't


you've got your gun to my head and knife in my back
and im just about to break down
i'm walking on eggshellstil your next attack
yeah, how much more can i take now?

so i'm tapping S.O.S. on the bedroom wall
while your sleeping i'll get dressed
and then i'm gone, i'm gone

(chorus)

(bridge)
theres a note on the fridge that says "we need to talk"
honey you bet we do
there's a chip on my shoulder, it's weighing me down
honey and it's all you

(chorus)


though it's obvious to everyone i odn't think you know
