The Fray How To Save A Life lyrics

 
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

CHORUS:
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
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

CHORUS:
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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_fray/how_to_save_a_life.html ]
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

CHORUS:
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

CHORUS:
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
How to save a life
How to save a life

CHORUS:
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

CHORUS:
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
How to save a life
How to save a life

I know this song is about suicide, however it is so very personal to me. I confronted a friend, a couple years ago, about some very wrong things he had done to me and to others. He tried to walk away, and i got him to listen; he pretended to agree or at least see what i was saying, but all along as i looked at him i saw pain and anger and aging and brokenness. I couldn't save him, not with love and not with confronting him; i still can't. It is the one thing i would give my life for - this man and his reconciliation - but it would not matter. I lost my friend not that night but long before that night, and that was just the first time i admitted it. I miss you, eric - please, please, please - turn around and see that you can't run from you.

This song makes me so sad, because i hope that i am never in that position, with a suicidal friend. One of my friends wagged with her boyfriend once, and the dude wasn't a very good type, and i was worried sick, she was alright, but it made me think... If i feel that much worry when a friend wags, what more when that friend is suicidal or anorexic or bulimic? I just have to pray for the right words to say, and trust that jesus will save a life.

Your all morons its not about some kid who died in an accident its about isaac's partner in a camp for troubled teens when he was a councelor there and his partner had a lot of problems and no one could save him.

Someone had too many problems... And no one could save them. And they have nothing to keep going for... Nothing to live for.nothing... Nothing at all.

Losing a friend, maybe they took the different path, and his friend choose a bad one?

This song can mean so many things to different people. It could be about suicide or addiction or bad relationships. To me it's about faith in god. I have a friend who i've witnessed to and i pray that they get saved but it seems like everything i say never gets through. I just pray that they have a change of heart before it's too late.

Something along the lines of:
regretting not talking to someone that you should have. In the end, that person does something bad or is in a dark place. With hingsight, you know that being there for that person would have changed everything. By the time you do talk to them, it's nearly impossible to get them out of that dark place.

This is about keeping a relationship going
It is personel to me because my parents are divorced and i wish this would have randomly come on during one of their dreadful fights because it could have made them realise what they were feeling
It couldnt of stopped them but it could have helped
