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

I know he tried to save her, he loved having her on his team, but shit happens and he's blaming himself way too much.

"Jack, we need to talk." I mutter.

"I'm busy doc.."

"Sit down, s'only a talk..." He does and I start to talk to him.

Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

She's worried about him, he might do something stupid especially because he blames himself, last time he did that he went in a suicide mission, he thinks she doesn't know but she does. He won't listen to her though.

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 a while since he shot himself, I tried to get him out of the depression we all did, it's not like no one else cared about her he just took it harder than the rest of us. I tried to talk to him, fuck It, I would have stayed at his house for as long as it took to get this sorted if he'd only opened up to me and now two of my best friends are dead, how the fuck am I supposed to be a doctor If I can't save the ones I care about most?

Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defence
Without granting innocence

"Jack, you can't keep doing this, it's not your fault. It's no one's fault. We all tried to save her."

"Yeah but we didn't did we Daniel!?"

"Stop wallowing in self pity and get on with your life, she wouldn't want this for you."

Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

It's wrong that she died, it wrong that he blames himself. Daniel's told him this but he doesn't want to hear it, not now.


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

I was with him the night before he committed suicide I would have stayed with him had I known what he was planning and tried to stop him. But I didn't and now he's dead the stupid fucker.

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

"ColonelO'Neill it is not wise you drink so much alcohol."

"Fuck off Teal'c, everybody should just fuck off and leave me the fuck alone. I don't fucking care!" He shouts

"It is also not wise you blame yourself. I will leave you alone I you wish but remember, MajorCarter would have not been impressed had someone else been the one to fall and you acted like this."


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

"Things are different now, I'm not the same know she's gone."

"That may be so but this is not the way to make things better." As Teal'c talks to him he know he won't listen, he never does not, to him, Janet, Daniel or anyone.

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

I tried to save him; I tried to save them both. But things do not always turn out for the best. This is one of those things.
