How To Save A Life
The Fray

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


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


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


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
