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
And you begin to wonder why you came


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
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 pray to God he hears you...

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness
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

I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
