[Verse 1]
             
Step one, you

 talk
            
He walks, you 

          
say sit down,

You stare poli

/

Some sort of w

          
indow to your 


right
             
As he goes lef

/

Between the li

          
nes of fear an

  
d blame
              
And you begin 

     
to wonder why

[Chorus]
             
Where did I go

Somewhere alon

Let him know t

    
hat you know b

est
            
After all you 

         
do know best
              
Try to slip pa

   
st his defense
            
Without granti

         
ng innocence
           
Lay down a lis

t of what is w

   
rong
              
The things you

    
've told him a

ll along
             
Pray to God he

 
 hears you
            
And you pray t

         
o God he hears

 you

[Chorus]
             
And where did

[Verse 3]
             
As he begins t

You lower your

Or break with 

              
the ones you'v

       
e followed
           
He will do one

#
 of two things
            
He will admit 

   
to everything
             
Or he'll say h

         
e's just not t

he same
            
And you will b
