How to Save a Life - Live

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
 You 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

 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 (where did I go wrong?)
 Somewhere along in the bitterness
 And I would have stayed up with you all night (and I would have stayed up)
