She Can't Save Him Lyrics - Singles - Brokop Lisa

(Liz Hengber/Bob Regan) 

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 about what happened last night 

But she can't save him 

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 

'Cause she can't save him 

And that day she'll know she hasn't failed 

'Cause nothing can change until he saves himself 

No she can't save him
