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 throughSome 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 cameWhere 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 lifeLet him know that you know best
'Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocenceLay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears youAnd 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 lifeAs 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 followedHe 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 cameWhere 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 lifeWhere 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 lifeHow to save a life
How to save a lifeWhere 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 lifeWhere did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
