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 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

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 defence

without grantin' innocence

lay down a list

of what is wrong

the things

you told him all along

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
