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 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 alone 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 told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you
[Verse 6]
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere alone in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere alone in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
[Verse 10]
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere alone in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
[Verse 11]
How to save a life
How to save a life
