About 10 years ago, my fiancé Guy went to stay with his Granny in London. A few days previous her next door neighbour had tragically taken her own life. Through the bedroom walls Guy heard her grieving grandson playing this song on repeat throughout the entire night. This story broke my heart and it still does even now. I hope he found comfort in this song that night. Wherever he is, this one is for him.

@andrespasca66033 years agoStep 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 Pray to God, he hears you And I pray to God, he hears you And 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 ...45

@
@Sendrien3 years agoJennifer, don't change for people who cannot appreciate your immense talent. There are some songs that "skinny blonde girls" just cannot pull off. This is one such song: YOUR rendition is beyond beautiful. YOU sing this song so emotively, each note with the rich palette of colours that these lyrics deserve. YOUR voice and YOUR interpretation are what make this cover stand above all others, including the original. Also, your choice to go with the silent "F" on the word "life" is genius. Have you ever tried singing Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell? ...49

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
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you
And 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 ... 45
Also, your choice to go with the silent "F" on the word "life" is genius.
