How To Save A Life

Step one you say we need to talk


He walks you say sit down it's just a talk


He smiles politely back at you


You stare politely right on through


Some sort of window to your rightAs he goes left and you stay right


Between the lines of fear and blame


You begin to wonder why you came


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend


Somewhere along in the bitterness


nd I would have stayed up with you all night


Had I known how to save a life


Let him know that you know best


Cause after all you do know best


Try to slip past his defense


Without granting innocence


Lay down a list of what is wrong


The things you've told him all along


And pray to God he hears you


And pray to God he hears you


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend


Somewhere along in the bitterness


And I would have stayed up with you all night


Had I known how to save a lifeAs he begins to raise his voice


You lower yours and grant him one last choice


Drive until you lose the road


Or break with the ones you've followed


He will do one of two things


He will admit to everything


Or he'll say he's just not the same


And you'll begin to wonder why you came


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend


Somewhere along in the bitterness


And I would have stayed up with you all night


Had I known how to save a life


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend


Somewhere along in the bitterness


And I would have stayed up with you all night
