Save Your Life

He looks to the window
she looks to the floor
one last glance and then
he walks toward the door
she looks back...

Where did it all go wrong?
Life is nothing but a sad song
Just waiting for the bitter end
Why do i have to loose another friend?
And i would have stayed with you all night
If i knew i could have saved your life.

She stands on the side and waves
as he smiles and drives away
but she'll never see him again
walking down the ruined road
where he goes she wants to follow

Where did it all go wrong?
Life is nothing but a sad song
Just waiting for the bitter end
Why do i have to loose another friend?
And i would have stayed with you all night
If i knew i could have saved your life.

he looks up at her
from the hospital bed
she takes his hand tenderly
smiles sadly at him
he smiles right on back
But theres nothing she can do
and he slips away...

Where did it all go wrong?
Life is nothing but a sad song
Just waiting for the bitter end
Why do i have to loose another friend?
And i would have stayed with you all night
If i knew i could have saved your life.

she called and he came
never to be the same
he runs in the street
following her tears
but in the green light
human and cars collide
and she turns to see
his blood on the street.

Where did it all go wrong?
Life is nothing but a sad song
Just waiting for the bitter end
Why do i have to loose another friend?
And i would have stayed with you all night
If i knew i could have saved your life.

I stayed up with you all night,
but you still died...
I couldn't save your life...

    Wow, you told an emotional story as if you were retelling it. I love the end, because guilt is what most survivors feel. I know when my sister was killed by a drunk driver, I felt it was my fault because I should have been there with her. The only thing is I'm not sure if the refrain is needed after every stanza. I definately like it after the first and before the last, but I'm not sure if its needed in the middle. Just my opinion. XXXXX
