Step one, we 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 through your eye
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You began to wonder why he 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
I try to slip past his defense
Without running in the sand
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you told him all along
Pray to God he's used
And pray to God he hears you
And where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend somewhere
Belonging to bitterness
And I would have stayed
up with you all night
Had I known how to stay alive
She begins to raise her voice
You lie with yours
and grant them one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
I'm brave with the ones you follow
You will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or you say he's just not the same
And you begin to won
der why he 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 stay alive
