She Can't Save Him

She can meet him at the door and catch him when he falls
'Cause nothing can change until he saves himself
But she can't save him
And not say a word 'bout what happened last night
She can make his coffee in the cold light of day
She sees that it's only herself she can save
And the water keeps pulling him down
But she can remember the man that he was
And that day she'll know she hasn't failed
She reaches for him as he pulls her in
She can even believe that it isn't his fault
�Cause she can't save him
She can wave at the neighbors, kiss him goodbye

No, she can't save him

She wakes just before she drowns
�Cause she can't save him
And still shed a tear for what he's become
Sometimes she dreams that he's caught in a stream

But she can't save him
She can make his excuses, tell the boss he'll be late

She can live in that house until the day
