Alex Goot - How To Save A Life Lyrics






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 defence
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 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

    I have heard to infinity

  21. H.... ....

    Parfois je me demande pourquoi cette musique te correspond tellement?
    Parfois je me demande si tu me tortures ou si tu essaie de m'aider...
    quand je suis perdu je ne te vois plus, pourquoi tu n'est plus là? pourquoi tu as osé me laisser seul?
    tu as cru que j'allais arriver a vivre ma vie sans toi?
    J'en peu plus de me lever chaques matin sans ta voix, t'était tout pour moi mon frere, j'voudrais t'oublier pour ne plus jamais souffrir et j'men veut, j'voudrais que tu reviennent, que tu me disent tout ce que j'ai rater, tout ce que je dois savoir, je voudrais que tu m'éclaire, que tu me disent quoi faire comme avant

  22. H.... W....

  52. T.... F....

    Eu amo a sensação que está musica me trás. E amei a sua versão. Beijos do Brasil.

  53. S.... ....

    This fills my previously empty quota for this song by 1% each loop. I must listen ninety nine more times before my quota.

  54. y.... d....

    2018? Anyone?

    y.... d....

    yuuki diola me

  55. D.... ....

    When the covers are better than the original

    D.... ....

    Devynthecatwithsocks i dont think.. the force of the intonation linked to the story of the song..
    Better sound but not better interpretation

    D.... ....

    Absolutely not, the intonation of the original one it's not imitable..

  56. m.... h....

    Actuallu the original one is better :/

  57. m.... h....

    This is a great cover!

    But the original will always be better (imo)

    Anyone know what kind of the instrument is Kurt played in this video?

    C.... C....

    Chrissy Chien maybe dnb(drum and Bass)

    C.... C....

    It’s just a pad. You can program any sound for each key, letting you customize it extremely, similar to a chaos pad.

  63. W.... H....

    I remember hearing THIS on a hospital commercial.

    This song is really good and as a recording and sound engineer it is nicely equalised and the fact that it is live recorded with the dj pad gives it a really human and intense and immersive feeling. Well done
