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
BUT SHE CAN'T
SAVE HIM
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
'BOUT WHAT HAPPENED
LAST NIGHT
BUT SHE CAN'T SAVE HIM
SOMETIMES SHE DREAMS
THAT HE'S CAUGHT
IN A STREAM
AND THE WATER KEEPS
PULLIN' 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
BUT STILL SHED A TEAR
FOR WHAT HE'S BECOME
AND SHE CAN LIVE IN THAT
HOUSE UNTIL THE DAY
SHE SEES THAT IT'S ONLY
HERSELF SHE CAN SAVE
'CAUSE SHE CAN'T
SAVE HIM
AND THAT DAY SHE'LL
KNOW SHE HASN'T FAILED
THERE'S NOTHING
CAN CHANGE
UNTIL HE SAVES HIMSELF
NO SHE CAN'T SAVE HIM
NO SHE CAN'T SAVE HIM
NO SHE CAN'T SAVE HIM
