Hello! Where have you all been? Been a bit lonely around here, hope to hear from you! Have a new story for you… I hope you like it, yes it's another songfic, but I just love writing them. THis song is called 'How To Save A Life.' It's about a young boy with depression and he loses his friend, this is according to google. I hope you like it, and let me know what songs or ideas you want me to do! I am going to be posting a new story, about Max and 99 coming to NZ, My country! Thanks to Doug for the awesome idea. This story is about Max, when he was younger, and losing his best friend (Like I mentioned in my other story, 'Helpless') To cancer.
Let me know what you think!
3 months since that day, the day the symptoms came. 2 months 28 days since finding out the diagnoses.
Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
The Doctors had solemnly told him. Stage 4. Terminal. Death within weeks.
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Why? Why hadn't he noticed?! It was just too late. 1 week after her dismissal from this cruel, cruel world.
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
He almost wasn't allowed to go to her funeral. But she was worth the pain.
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Soon he found himself sitting in a chair beside her coffin, singing softly the voice only her ears were allowed to hear.
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Why didn't he save her?!
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
There wasn't a dry eye.
Had I known how to save a life
He couldn't have saved her, and he was struggling to keep going.
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all, you do know best
He should've known better, but he knew no different.
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
She slipped through his fingers, away from his world.
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
SHe was his only escape and brace from his poor childhood.
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
Even though no praying could have saved her.
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
His only friend.
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
If only he knew how.
Had I known how to save a life
He lost his best friend, and it hurt so much!
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
He ran out onto the field that gave them so much joy.
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He yelled and screamed at his cruel, cruel, world.
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
He sank onto the ground sobbing and sobbing.
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Why did it have to be her?!
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
He would have helped her, where did he go wrong!
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
But he didn't and the pain was overwhelming his body.
Had I known how to save a life
It's been 5 years, He was 16 and moving out from his abusive life. He walked into the house next door to say goodbye to his second 'Mother.' It all came rushing back.
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
It's been 6 years. He got a job, right out of college. A bonus baby SPY.
How to save a life
How to save a life
It's been 11 years since she passed, He met and married the most beautiful woman and brilliant spy, 99. But she would always be in his mind.
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night

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
Maxine, his childhood friend, until cancer won.
