How to save a life-The Fray for septiplier
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
Pray to God, he hears you
And I 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
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
it had been a long day from work like usual, but today had an eerie quitenessto it. Yet at the same time you were excited. Today would mark the whole 1st year of your anniversary with jack. And you had a romantic dinner that if he wanted to couldgo into bed. But when you walked through the front door of the house he was there at the table, with nothing set out.
"Mark, I'm sorry. But I think we need to just chil for a while I don't wanna-" jack said but was then cut of by the anger and worry in your voice.
"so you just wanna leave me alone without you, without the one thing brings a smile to my face well if you really wanna fucking leave then there's the door, leave if you dont want to stay... I want you happy I don't want it to feel like torture, I thought you wanted me to be happy too." I say with tears falling from my eyes.
"no mark it's not like that I just thought we could-" he say getting cut off once again by you.
" Just leave if it's torture to be with me." You say pointing to the door. Jack then walks out of the door with his head down. You sit down on the couch trying to process how you fucked up, and then you look at the coffee table. And laying there on the coffee table is a white note. You open it up and read:
i love you mark and I remember our first date. From last year we sat on this couch and watched a movie we had our first kisss here too. We had only one date I hated and that was the fancy dinner. I don't want fancy I want you I want all of you pure no lying to yourself just for me. Be true to your self and I'm so happy that this is our one year anniversary. I hope there are many more years to come.
Your eyes go into a blur of tears realizing you fuck up you grab to coats and head out the door. Looking for his favorite spot. Railroad tracks. When you get there your face is cold from the chilling breeze. You look around unsure where to look. But that's when you hear it the train. You look around the tracks desperate to find jack. ChiropyWhen the train grows closer you see it. The Irish green haired man. His shoe laces were stuck on the track you try to signal to the conducter to stop and you see him desperately pulling on the brakes but it was late. Jack looked over at you with fear in hi eyes saying he loved you in his eyes. And then it hit him. The train ran right over him. You move out of the way while the conducter then stop the train but you dashed right over to se jack. He looked like a mangled human with his body everywhere. It looked like it gnawed on by a rabid dog. But his eyes were still open, frozen and blue as the now clear sky. You couldn't help but scream in anger that this was lol your fault. If you didn't let your anger run through you, you b
oth could have watched a movie together, then this would never happen you take your jacket off and try to fit on jacks body.
"this will keep you warm baby, I'm so sorry I couldn't keep you warm, I hope you accept it. There isn't any other living soul like you jackaboy." You say holding jacks body there in your arms. This was it. It was all your fault. You could have brought him happiness you then turn you head to jacks feet. You untie the laces that were suck to the tracks. You take the laces and hold it to your chest. " I love you jac. Now you can watch the rest of my life play out like a movie. And one day we will both be watching the Same movie." You say taking the laces and holding onto them with tears on you face. This was it. There was nothing you could do. The only thing you cou,d have done was make it happen differently. But this was destined to happen no matter what happened. But you were going to go on. With jack on your mind every single moment. That way jack could enjoy a movie in sadness. But every time jack would be on your mind there would be a smile on your face. Because jack brought you happiness and he still will.
