Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Some sort of window's 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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Let him know that you know best

'Cause after all, you do know best

Try to slip past his defense

Without granting innocence

[Verse 5]

Lay down a list of what is wrong

The things you've told him all along

And pray to God he hears you

I pray to God he hears you

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

How to save a life

Oh, how to save a life

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

How to save a life

How to save a life
