How to save a life

There's one of my favorite songs from The Fray.


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 thr.ough.
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 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.

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
