Needle Vs. String

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 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

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

I swear i wudve stayed up, not just for you.. for me too. Turns out when the haze cleared, i did stay up. Didnt help. Faded away too fast. wasnt painful. still wonder if it was meant to be. still wonder if it did any indemnity or the speech always alleviated all the anguish. but for me it agitated a major portion of the part which just refused to give in to the numbness. which i think might be a farse altogether.

guess i really didnt know... how to save a life... couldnt save the one i wanted to. mine. soliloquy it is.. and a damn screwed up one.
