The Fray - How to save a life (lyrics)

[GloshGrindcore]

Still listening in 2012

[fashiongiselle]

2008-2010 best.songs.ever.

[ShimmerShallNotDIE]

So sad right now... This song describes what I just went through for the past few days... I just watched my friend die right before my eyes... We got in a fight... He ran out in the street and got hit by a truck... "Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend, somewhere along in the bitterness..." We were gonna have a sleep over, I canceled cause of homework... "and I would have stayed up with you all night, had I known how to save a life..." I just couldn't save him... The fault was my own...

[ninjacupcakepenguin4]

@ShimmerShallNotDIE Oh my god, im so sorry, thats so sad :''(

[mgswagman]

thank god 4 the fray

[kate96volleyball]

very good,

but grey's anatomy version is better...!

[AlizAngelic]

@kate96volleyball Going to have to disagree with you. :)

[jessandabby1]

I want to sing this if there is some karoake place or however you spell it xD And if i do i might post a vieo. AND im NOT asking for thumbs up -.-

[RebeccaMcDonald15xo]

Everytime I listen to this song it makes me stop and think..

[xXJustDifferentXx]

Dear youtube,

Justin beiber should NOT be in the related viders of this song.

[B1ueFoxFighter]

How to kill a brand: PS3? ;)

[misschocolate300]

Through seriously can no one spell

[Camgurlof1990]

To date, the headlight commercial is the best yet.

Cracks me up every time.

[nintendogirl1985]

i always see all the comments about the dislikes... why don't y'all sign a petition about getting rid of it? there's a reason facebook doesnt have one, cause if someone were to dislike their status it would make that person feel bad. so... petition?

[Raina7721]

14,117 likes, 162 dislikes. How the heck does this thing have 162 DISLIKES???!

[hellomoo123]

This song made me stop suiside and have something to live for LONG LIVE THE FRAY!! for making me see the best in life and suiside is wrong

[musicsportsful]

suiside is a permanet soultion to a temparory problem.

[alysa989]

@musicsportsful nope, just takes you to hell faster

[LaterTatersBTR]

@alysa989 yep.

[SuaveCompanero]

kew

[nick200588]

all you can say to your self is one more day. if i can get through today i can make it to tomarrow. its so hard to say your are right when your crying inside. god bless-------------J.L-------

[11smilesj11]

just wanna see if there is anyone just like me:

1) i love the freay, this song, and their new album

2) i love coldplay

3) i am obsessed with the hunger games

4)i want this played at my funeral

[doctorlego72]

@11smilesj11 im using my bros account but i love coldy play i love frays new album i kinda liek the hunger games and i want this song at my funeral lol

[danbomb1000]

@doctorlego72 i also said that i want this song played at my funeral

[teneseeboy17]

did you mess up choice and road on perpose.?

[teneseeboy17]

I have mental issues

[xBender760X]

Once, he said "We need to talk."

He told me he is moving... and i walked track with him when he told me, and I started tearing up :(

I'm gonna miss him :(

[teneseeboy17]

This song reminds me the time my girlfriend broke up with me, and it's true where did I go wrong. I am only 13 and I have had like 9 broken hearts.... You are probobly thinking "dude just get over it" but it's to hard I cant do it. I'll miss her

[cCHickenNn]

@teneseeboy17 mate your'e 13 don't want to disappoint you but trust me it gets a lot fucking harder!!!

[mileygagaluver]

@cCHickenNn i don't want to fight but i'm 13 and i beg to differ. I believe life can be hard at any age you don't have to be 30 compared to a 13 year old and automaticaly the 30 year old has *obviously* had the harder life. You know what i mean :)

[cristianthedragoness]

@teneseeboy17

I'm sorry..*hugs you*

[christina2282]

this song changed my mind about a lot of things!!

[YlissaDinoRawr]

[G0CubS100]

[HeroChance]

This song gives me a lot of memories (:

[Kkkristy3]

.I recently lost someone

My friends dad. Joe.

He was truly an amazing man

This song reminds me of him.. Because I lost a his daughters friendship, but I didn't lose him.

And he died right after he lost his father..

So dying of a broken heart does happen.

I wish I could save his life.

I feel like his life had more purpose than mine.So I don't understand why he left and why am I still here,

[G0CubS100]

@Kkkristy3 :'( don't worry god has a perpuss ;)

[PlanetZelka]

@G0CubS100 *purpose

[TheDarrenMindham]

Could you even point out Uganda on a map?

[christina2282]

[emilyschannel97]

R.I.P uncle Dave<3.

[crazykandigi]

[girlinpink1]

[83PoWeRrAm]

[tommytimmy3940]

my god what is with the kony guy, if you all cared you would have before everyone was going on about it

[lilokiller94]

True that

[ididintkillsanta]

We should all join together to stop Joseph Kony then we will save a life

[Orinaki]

If someone ever seems like they need help then help them before it's too late

[themessyhair]

ill say this song makes my think of my girlfriend who helped my realise theres more to life then myself if i hadnt met her i wouldnt be here today love every little thing hold the ones you love and occasionally indulgde a gulity pleasure.

theres more to life than one

p.s. i may have killed the replay button with the mouse

[InSaNiAc1000]

Dad I would have stayed up with you all night if I could have saved you! <3 Miss you big man!

[CASSEEEEEEEEEE]

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend. Somewhere alone in the bitterness and, when I stayed up, with you all night, and i know, how to save a life. RIP Lily, she was my best friend. We rocked the school. Where did I go wrong? I went from the happy, joyful spirit to the one who shoves herself in her own locker, the one who shouldn't be here.

[kongrgaterules]

I am:

❑ Single

❑ Taken

✔ Mentally dating a character that doesn't actually exist

[trevorclem101]

@kongrgaterules moments like this i wish i could like more than once

[Rabiosachica]

@kongrgaterules

Heh, both of us.

[Landistus]

@kongrgaterules tee hee im fucked in the head but i dont think il ever get to that point >.<

[reyrobs13]

@kongrgaterules that's so cool, how did u do this??

[Ujivinme]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE how to save a life

[Ujivinme]

this song reminds me of the guy i loved the fray is really something

[hope101x]

I can always relate to this song, in lots of different situations, it always pulls me through

[994skate]

this song always make me cry for no reason

[NinjaHaku1]

this song always gets me right here <3

[AnimeStar0011]

I really miss songs like this..

[kenzisaurusrex]

omg.... the video makes me cry everytime i see it :'(

[ShadowElectricPlasma]

I always wonder what happened to the Music today, if they still played this and all the other songs that are like this, it would make life . . . Once again normal. I admire these artist and every time I go to a school dance and all the girls start screaming because of a new song, I'm literally the only in there that has no idea what it is

[dracoandahalfgump]

thumbs up if this song makes u think of u'r girlfriend or wife it just reminds u of how much u can love someone more than u could love anything

[IKC7]

I dont know why but for some reason this song makes me think about all the soldiers fighting in afghanistan and saving our lives.

Thumbs up for the soldiers because without them we wouldnt be here...

[Jayhawkgirl98]

Can someone explain this to me?

[freshmeat299]

my best friend got bullied to death he told teachers his parents but no one did anything so telling a adult doesn't help much does it

[dracoandahalfgump]

it depends on what family u have

[THEwholedamnTRUTH]

The only cool bullies on this planet are Jimbo Jones,Dolphin Starbeam,Kearney Zzyzwicz and Nelson Muntz.

[chadvader1997]

anyone who bullies is a victim of insanity in there own mind and need to get some help instead of taking there problems out on someone who looks like a easy target -_-... ,and its really sad to know that this world has come to the point where someone gets tortured to the point where they commit suicide... and for all who are a victim of bullying, you need to talk to someone and ask for help and let someone know that you are being bullied.. because its not okay .. AT ALL

[AngelOfOlympus]

my best friend died. she's always bullied because she's the smartest in class though she's very pretty but wears glasses. she commited suicide because she was verbally abused.

RIP melissa ong

[32Earthgirl]

i agree with you guys bulling is soo sad and the people who do it are the worst if it goes so far that they comit sucide the bully should be punished

[JBearzoneeight]

This song makes me cry because it makes me think of all those people who get bullied and harrassed and commit suicide because of that!!! Everytime someone gets bullied the bullies are gonna take a little trip to the devil.....

[IWuvRainbowsAndUrMom]

@JBearzoneeight Yeah Same Here Hun :(

[beccalikespie1]

Me and my friend sing this sometimes just cuz, and we dont talk, just think about just about everything then when were done neither of us says much untill we've come back to our reality.

[pokeguy1011]

For all u people who played the game saints row 2 Carlos died and this song makes me think of him and aeisha also for all the people in pain from death of people close to u stay strong it will turn out good in the end they are there with u in ur heart

[slushpuppygirl102]

[xJamez93]

[SpaceDinoFTW]

I'm not bullied...

[memopics]

This song is the most inspiring one I've heard. Makes me understand that in this cold world I'm the only one who can save my life.

[LauraLovesNDubz]

I wish he would've asked me to save his life. </3

[yonicyo]

Really nice song :')

[MonkeyBrains1127]

@iluvmusic552 Dumme is stupid in German, dumbass.

[MonkeyBrains1127]

@zombieinwaiting I spelled it right. I spelled it in Duestch. (thats German)

[willielassie]

How to save a life? well make Joseph Kony famous and you will save many

[ninjajokalita]

thinking of, or even deciding to kill yourself isn't weak. It takes so much pain and suffering and hell to push a person to even consider it. And I know that in the end they're doing a selfish act and leaving everyone by taking their own life, but you just cannot imagine what was going on inside of them for them to do that. I considered killing myself last year... but i didn't, and im happy about that

[xSurEelx]

Yea im sorry. My girlfriends cousin got bullied so much he did the same. He was 11 and it really hurt her

[JessieA1998]

KONY 2012

please look this up ' <3

[lololCUTFACE]

KONY 2012

[Dovesongz]

RIP my best friend. She's alive, but she's..broken. No longer the happy, bubbly girl I used to know, What happened?

[Georgehoward69]

Meanwhile, cheese.

[edogsepic]

this reminds me of my dog cole he was my family i only cared about him when i came home from school he would wine and jump up on me and i would pet him he slept on my bed when i was sad and he died in december 1 week before christmas i wish i was able to save him :,'(

[jawbreaker931]

this song reminds me of a girl in 2 grade at my school that has cancer which is really sad because i have to see her every day with no hair and looks like shes dyeing inside

[jawbreaker931]

this song reminds me of a boy i could of gone out but i didnt and he really liked me but i always said no no no! and now i wish i said yes.

[edogsepic]

@jawbreaker931 did he die?

[you2ubefiend]

@edogsepic ..

[you2ubefiend]

iWish you would have saved my grandma's life.

[JegSpillerTorsk]

i Just lost my bestfriend to his girlfriend.. I havent seen him in over a month at all.. not even spoke over the internet.. =\ And we were like BFF's and i cant understand why he would choose her over me! We agreed NOTHING would come in between us.. but yet there still something!

[NuttyRunnerGirl]

hey this is off topic but what album is this?

and im sorry about ur uncle. :'(

[diMtzKi]

Reading all these comments I really feel sorry for all of you. It's strange every time I have something bothering and no shoulder to cry on I listen to this, never fails to make me confront my feelings.

[katehas1]

usually if you dislike a song its your opinion but one this i just get the feeling its more like disrespect :/

[MrXxJosexX]

157 people don't know how to save a life

[MonkeyBrains1127]

2:00 ITS SPELLED CHOICE. dumme Idioten

[iluvmusic552]

@MonkeyBrains1127 u realize u didnt even spell dummy and idiot right? and ur calling her the dummy :p

[zombieinwaiting]

@MonkeyBrains1127 .........I don't know if you did that on purpose or not...but * dummy *idiot

[TheLastGodx]

why do people have to be so arrogant over my comment? look how many people have shown respect and shown they actually have a heart? THANKYOU to everyone who has liked it, nice to know that people out there actually have a heart <3

[SuperJenkins22]

i cant stop listening to this song because not too long ago i lost my best friend because he was getting bullied :'( he was only 14...... and i post this because i want people to know that bullying isnt a joke! R.I.P Sam :'(

[PimpjabiProductions]

@SuperJenkins22 that....is horrible, and I fully know that bullying isn't a joke

I felt the sting of that pain....a lot....but it goes away man ^__^

may your friend rest in peace, I'll pray for Sam

[222gemzy]

@SuperJenkins22 sorry 2 hear about ur loss my friend was bullied at school and its really left a mark on her bullying is all wrong and school should take a more tougher approach to it

[mrwrapperp]

When I listen to this song I think of everything that's happening to me

[484fotalon]

if things turn south think of this quote "Is it foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died,Rather we should thank God that such men lived' and if you think about it, it holds true.

[Ujivinme]

this song makes me idk (i don't know) ... spaced

[SwedShooter]

love the fray

[SwedShooter]

Great song

[wakablue3]

@nopp1 The irony is his uncle is the one needing a life lol

[Jojorokks1]

@wakablue3 thankss

[YJMvdW]

im shocked so many people have to miss someone they loved... well, to all of you: you know what they say: "you can die, but you'll never be dead". You're dead when no-one knows about you anymore, when you're totally forgotten. you die when you're time's up...=S guess we just have to make the best out of our lifes as long as we can, right? my support goes out to all of you who have to miss somone and to those who know people fighting for their lifes <3

[Jojorokks1]

@YJMvdW yup u just need 2 spend as much time as u can with them b4 it happens

[xBabydollx13]

so sad...so sad :'''''(

[Sherbertwoody]

R.i.p brenda..still after all these years i'm really sorry i wasn't there for you when you needed the family the most :(

[aKiDNamedElMo]

This song goes out to my bestfriend Cory Young May you rest in peace bro we all love and miss you <3

[adsurbum]

why people love justin bieber more ?

[ancientrockqueen]

this songs means so much to me, i work with people who which all hope seems gone..music is my gift, my power, my therapy ,my helper, beautiful ..thank you for putting it up with lyrics so i could show and share

[MrFoshizzlePro]

Life is far too precious to waste. For anyone whose friends or family members have caused suicide to themselves or anyone going through a friend/family member in hospital care, I want those to know that I care and I wish the best for them. It's hard to go through such a loss, especially if it is someone close to your heart. Right now, a friend of mine is suffering deeply. I'm going to comfort her as much as I can. If anyone needs to talk about anything, feel free to talk to me. I will listen :)

[kartaykin1]

This reminds me of my dead best friend... I couldn't save his life. He went suicidal. We talked all the time. We cryed together. We were each other's company.. and when he killed himself.. i thought about it myself.. but i had my friends and this type of musiic to get me through it... This band and my friends.. Saved MY Life. <3

[Ujivinme]

even though i have no idea if there's a heaven or a hell or a purgatory that you can get prayed out of, i do know that we have to appreciate life and enjoy it

[herperthederper]

god i can never hear this song enogh i have come close to suicide and this make me feel less depression when i hear this band

[bleachkittyful]

i rember my friend who committed suicide and be4 she died she said i would live on and tht she would always be here in memory and not to do wht she was about to do i said to her why are you doing this and she replied i hve nothing to look forward to and i couldnt talk her out of it and when i got taken home i was sobbing and screaming for tht to not to happen but it did

[puffdragon12345]

[kwongkabang]

R.I.P Rudy :/

[joejess00]

@Warhawk0602  i agree with u about the people the selfishness of the people in this world and how much its hurts to b used but calm dwn......people r crying and holding on to the lovliness of this song and dnt wnt to hear about people burning right now...save it for the screamo

[yunonamesleft]

im well happy listening to this :D cheer up

[TheLastGodx]

can everyone please take the time, to thumbs up this comment to show respect for my uncle David, he is in intensive care fighting for his life, please send your wishes out... greatly appreciated. Thankyou :)x

[Bamagirl9937]

@TheLastGodx keep me posted on him kk?

[TheLastGodx]

@Bamagirl9937 will do cheers. he's gone down hill over night though :/

[TheYes16]

@TheLastGodx If he's still fighting then he'll win , the fight with life is won as long as you still fight , as long as you still go on . It doesn't matter how hard you can hit it matters how much you can get hit and keep moving forward , how much you can take and keep moving forward . That's how will is done - Sylvester Stalone .

[TheLastGodx]

@TheYes16 thanks for the support, and that quotes true, so just gotta hope he keeps fighting :)
