Song: How to Save a Life by Fray
~~~~~~~~~~~
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
~~~~~
You were dealing with something that no one could tell the true intensity was. Not even Jughead. He could tell something was up but he didn't know what you wouldn't talk to him about it. So he blamed himself once he got the call from Hiram that you were gone.

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
~~~~~~
Jughead wondered where he went wrong what he could of done to save you. As he lost you his friend and lover in this world full of hate and bitterness. He would of stayed by your side if he would of known. He needed you and you were gone because of his stupidity.

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
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
~~~~~~
Everyone tried to tell him it wasn't his fault but he didn't believe it slowly he shut everyone out including Archie who tried to get past his wall. This was the one time Jughead prayed that this was a dream and he would wake up and you would still be by him.

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
~~~~~~~
Days passed and he still blamed himself. He needed you and if he known he would of walked through fire just to get to you. But he couldn't. His mistakes couldn't be fixed.

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
~~~~~~~~~
He remembered that you two had a fight about you thinking he was cheating on you with Betty. But he wasn't because he loved you however he got mad and started to yell which caused you to cower until you gave him two choices Betty or You. He didn't make a decision on the spot even though he knew he would choose you he was just to mad. So he went away leaving you sobbing as you thought he chose Betty.

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
~~~~~~
Remembering made him cry. He chose you he was just to into his head. He should of went to your house and stayed up all night with you. Making sure nothing bad would happen to you.

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
~~~~~~
All he wondered was where he went. This world is full of bitterness and hateful things and you were the only person who brought joy to him.

How to save a life
How to save a life
~~~~~~
How he wished he could of saved you. He thought of many possibilities but would they have been enough.

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?
~~~~
Four  months passed and he still had everyone shut out.
He still wonders what he could of done. He could of stayed with you forever.

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
~~~~~~
He lost his best friend to the cruelness of the world. How could he go on?
