He walks, tu say, “Sit down, it's just a talk”
He smiles politely back at you
tu stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and tu stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
tu begin to wonder why tu came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with tu all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that tu know best
‘Cause after all, tu do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a lista 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 tu all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
tu lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until tu lose the road
o break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
o he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why tu came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with tu 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 tu 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 tu 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 tu all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
