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
And 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
How to save a life
我自己先翻译了一下，不完全是根据字面来翻译的
The Fray - How to Save a Life
一开始你说我们需要谈谈
他走过来 你说坐下来谈谈吧
他微笑着对着你
你一直的望着他
总会有一些事情不那么糟糕
他却总是用相反的方式来对待
似乎有点害怕
你想知道自己为什么来到这个世界
我犯了一个错误 以至于我失去了一个朋友
在这条辛酸的路上
我会整晚陪在你的身边
如果我知道怎样挽救一个生命
让他知道你知道什么才是最好的办法
毕竟你最终是对的
去越过他的防卫
不需要解释太多
放下所有的束缚
你早就告诉过他要怎样去做
然后再祈祷上帝能听见你的声音
他开始尝试说出自己的心声
你也放低自己同意了他最后的选择
一直走到路的尽头
或者不再墨守陈规
他做了一些事情
来者不拒
他会觉得自己与众不同
你会问自己我能帮他做些什么
