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  
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  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
