The Fray - How To Save A Life (Lyrics)

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. She 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 put out straight up with you all night, yet I don't know how to stay alive. Let him know what you know best, cause after all you do know best. Try to slip past his defense without granting any sense. Lay down a list of what is wrong, the things you told him all along. Pray to God he hears you, and pray to God he hears you. And where did I go wrong? She begins to raise his voice, lower yours. Grant him one last choice, drive until you lose the road. A break with the ones you follow. He will do one of two things, you 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 stater. And I put out straight up with you all night, yet I don't know how to stay alive.
