How to save a life (The Fray)
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
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
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
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
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
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 I pray to God he hears you
Chorus
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
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
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Cómo salvar una vida (The Fray)
En primer lugar tú dices “necesitamos hablar”
Él camina, tú dices “siéntate, es sólo una charla”
Él te sonríe educadamente
Tú miras fija y educadamente a través de
Una especie de ventana que está a tu derecha
Mientras él va a la izquierda, tú te mantienes a la derecha
Entre las líneas dl miedo y la culpa
Te empiezas a preguntar por qué viniste
¿Dónde me equivoque?
Perdí un amigo
En alguna parte entre la
amargura
Y me habría quedado despierto
toda la noche contigo
Si hubiera sabido cómo salvar
una vida
Hazle saber que tú sabes lo que es mejor
Porque después de todo, tú lo sabes
Intenta burlar sus defensas
Sin conceder inocencia
Impón una lista de lo que está mal
Las cosas que le has dicho todo el tiempo
Y reza a Dios para que él te oiga
Y reza a Dios para que él te oiga
Estribillo
Según empieza él a alzar la voz
Tú bajas el tono de la tuya y le concedes una última elección
Conduce hasta que pierdas la carretera
O rompe con los que has seguido
Él hará una de dos cosas
Admitirá todo
O dirá que simplemente no es lo mismo
Y tú empezarás a preguntarte por qué has venido
Estribillo (x2)
