how to save a life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

subconscious and unconscious

they're both yours
neither of them seem to want me
i don't remember the last time you kissed me
i don't remember the last time you hugged me
we had sex a week ago
initiated by me

you push me off in your sleep when i hug you
you don't move to my touch anymore
you don't look my way
i feel like a dead space
lying next to you

if you want me
show me
because it's becoming hard to tell
i don't want to be a platonic relationship
something just friends
just 'room-mates' as you put it

i'm this close [....]
this close to opting out
i don't want to opt out of you
but i think i need to move out
i need space
i need you to miss me
know that you want me

maybe this was all a mistake
please let me know
so i can get everything together

yes or no
simple
