How to Save a Life

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
 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 I 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
 You will do one or two things
 You will let me to everything
 Or he will say, he is just not the same
 Then you will 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
