You begin to wonder why you came 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 And I would have stayed up with you all night Without granting innocence Songwriters: Joseph King, Isaac Slade Or break with the ones you've followed Had I known how to save a life Try to slip past his defense He will do one of two things Or he'll say he's just not the same Somewhere along in the bitterness He walks, you say, “Sit down, it's just a talk” And pray to God he hears you Had I known how to save a life How to save a life As he begins to raise his voice Drive until you lose the road Let him know that you know best As he goes left and you stay right Lay down a list of what is wrong Had I known how to save a life And I would have stayed up with you all night And I would have stayed up with you all night How to save a life He smiles politely back at you How to save a life Some sort of window to your right Somewhere along in the bitterness Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Publishers: AARON EDWARDS PUBLISHING, EMI APRIL MUSIC INC. Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend The things you've told him all along Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend He will admit to everything And you'll begin to wonder why you came Had I known how to save a life And I would have stayed up with you all night ‘Cause after all, you do know best And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness Step one, you say, “We need to talk” You lower yours and grant him one last choice How to save a life Somewhere along in the bitterness Had I known how to save a life Between the lines of fear and blame You stare politely right on through And I would have stayed up with you all night

It made me cry because lost a guy who could be a good friend i had to break off the relationship because he's gay. I want to be his friend bujt my other friend is making it so hard to be around him. She makes him go away, we could be such good friends

this is a lovely sentiment but until people stop being s**ts to each other everyone will die at least a little bit on the inside in one minute increments throughout the day
