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
