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

Every kiss before the right kiss doesn’t count anyway. I’ve kissed a lot of women. The first time I kissed my wife… Well, I mean she wasn’t my wife then; she was just this girl in a bar. And when we kissed, it was like – I got to tell you – it was like I never kissed any other woman before. It was like the first kiss, the right kiss. — Derek Shepherd, 11x21 Grey’s anatomy

Where did I go wrong, I lost friends but I’m still here.

Wasting away to the sand dunes inside my mind.

I pray to God he hears me.

Where did I go wrong? I lost friends but I’m still here.

I can hear everyone say she’s not the same.

Waiting for a sign to save a life.

Where I’m in a bitter land, staying distinct where I belong.

Where did I go wrong? I lost friends but I’m still here.

Praying to God he hears me.

After everything, leaves fell on me like teardrops.

Hiding how I feel and these words are

just the silver lining.

Where did I go wrong? I lost friends but I’m still here.

Where were you when everything was falling apart?

All I needed was a call that never came.

You find me laying surrounded by my past selves.

Where were you? But you were a little too late.

The Early mornings have been coming me leaving no messages.

No letters to hit me home.

In the end still lonely, down this road.

Losing my soul.
