How to save a life - the Fray + 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
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
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 defence
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
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 :)

Scrubs :)

2 people don't have a life.

@Kaylagirl1238 And I can stilll feel compassion and sympathetic for other people who are suffering just like I am. If anything it gives a sort of closure from hearing and helping other people. You're obviously too ignorant and immature to appreciate that.

[oVacivity]

@Kaylagirl1238 No one lives a drama free life, so shut the fuck up. My brother was killed in a hit and run accident by a drunk and high driver. Don't believe me? Google Mark McNeill and fucking try me. He was only 15 years old. My youngest brother suffered from cancer, and my father drives for SEPTA and because of that he has to sit on a bus and drive a majority of the day. Causing him to get numerous blood clots. He's been out of work because of another drunk driver that hit him on his bus.

@Kaylagirl1238

Hide behind a computer screen? Trust me if I could come and say it to you I would. If you want it said to your face come to Collingdale, PA & I'll gladly do it.

[Kaylagirl1238]

@GoDLyTriKzzX the fact is people go through shit like their boyfriends or girlfriends dumping them which means NOTHING.

[Kaylagirl1238]

@oVacivity and maybe you think you're all that since you can hide behind a computer screen and go on living a wonderfull drama free life. but i wake up everyday to not hear my dad snoring, and have to see my mom cope with being bald and husbandless, i watch her run back and forth to the hospital every few hours. so maybe i come off as a 'cunt' because i can't care anymore since if i do the fall will be that much greater.

[Kaylagirl1238]

@oVacivity the funny thing is after you posted this i went home and about an hour later i found my brother over dosing on zanax and had to get him to the hospital, i dont have to be sad and make a little crying face to say it hurts. i dont think my father deserved to die, or i deserved to fracture my skull or my mom deserved to get breast cancer, nor do i think i think my brother deserved to overdose. i may seem callous but i've been through so much fucking shit that nothing phases me.

[oVacivity]

@Kaylagirl1238

By the way you're acting, seems to me like you deserve all those things. Half of them probably didn't even happen, because if they truly did, you'd be more compassionate, and would not be such a fucking cunt. You would know shit hurts, and would be more understanding. Not an attention whoring bitch. :3

[2qt4uitstrue]

I hear all these people go "this is so sad", and ik by the tone of the song, but what exactly does it mean? Losin' a friend by death, i think, right?

[shelby12333333333333]

i love this song so much this is my song
