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 and you begin to wonder why you came
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
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
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
