{I remember this by heart; my favorite part is the 3rd verse} heart

[verse 1]
"Sit down," 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

[chorus]
Where it I go wrong?
I lost a friend somewhere a long in the bitterness and
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

[verse 2]
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to step passed his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
Things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

[chorus]

[verse 3]
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 follow
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you begin to wonder why you came

[chorus 2x]

How to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
