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
"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 he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
As 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
alone in the bitterness and
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I lost a friend somewhere
alone 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
'Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
'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
Pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you and
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you and
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend somewhere
alone in the bitterness and
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I lost a friend somewhere
alone 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, grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
You lower yours, 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
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
alone in the bitterness and
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I lost a friend somewhere
alone 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
alone in the bitterness and
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I lost a friend somewhere
alone 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
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend somewhere
alone in the bitterness and
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I lost a friend somewhere
alone 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
alone in the bitterness and
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I lost a friend somewhere
alone 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
How to save a life
