| 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 |
