He walks you say sit down its 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

CHORUS:

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 youve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

And I pray to God he hears you

CHORUS


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 youve followed
He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything
Or hell say hes just not the same
And youll begin to wonder why you came


CHORUS (x2)


How to save a life
How to save a life


CHORUS (x2)

How to save a life
