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 right
As she 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
And I would have
stayed up with
you all night
Had I known
how to save a life
Let him know that
you know best
'cos 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
And 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
As 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
Had I known how
to save a life
How to save a life
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
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
Had I known how
to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
