She Can't Save Him

[Verse 1] She can hear his car, as it pulls in the drive She can whisper a prayer, "Thank God, he's alive" She can meet him at the door, catch him when he falls She can even believe that it isn't his fault [Chorus] But she can't save him [Verse 2] She can make his coffee, in the cold light of day She can make his excuses, tell the boss he'll be late She can wave at the neighbors, then kiss him goodbye And not say a word about what happened last night [Chorus] [Verse 3] Sometimes she dreams that he's caught in a stream And the water keeps pulling him down She reaches for him, as he pulls her in She wakes just before she drowns She can remember the man that he was And still shed a tear for what he's become She can live in that house until the day She sees that it's only herself she can save [Chorus] [Bridge] And that day she'll know she hasn't failed Because nothing can change until he saves himself [Chorus][x3]
