Thomas Ian Nicholas - How to Save a Life Lyrics

Step one, you say we need to talk.
He walks, you say sit down, just a talk.
He smiles politely back at you.
You stare politely right on through.
Some sort of window to your right.
He goes left, you stay right.
Between the lines, fear and blame.
You begin to wonder why you came.
Where did I go wrong?
Lost a friend.
Somewhere along in bitterness.
I would have stayed up, 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 defense.
Without granting innocence.
Lay down a list of what when wrong.
The things you've told him all along.
And pray to God he hears you.
And I pray to God he hears you.
Where did I go wrong?
Lost a friend.
Somewhere along in bitterness.
I would have stayed up, you all night.
Had I known how to save a life.
He begins to raise his voice.
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.
You'll begin to wonder why you came.
Where did I go wrong?
Lost a friend.
Somewhere along in bitterness.
I would have stayed up, 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?
Lost a friend.
Somewhere along in bitterness.
I would have stayed up, you all night.
Had I known how to save a life.
How to save a life.
How to save your life.
