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 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 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

How To Save A Life
Song by
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 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 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
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
