(Trisha:)
She can hear his car as it pulls into the drive
She can whisper a prayer. Thank god he’s alive
She can meet him at the door and catch him when he falls
She can even believe that it isn’t his fault
But she cant save him

(Reba:)
She can make his coffee in the cold light of day
She can make his excuses tell the boss hell be late
She can wave at the neighbors, kiss him goodbye
And not say a word bout what happened last night
But she can’t save him

(Both:)
Sometimes she dreams that he’s caught in a stream
And the water keeps puling him down

(Reba:)
She reaches for him as he pulls her in
She wakes just before she drowns

(Trisha:)
But she can remember the man that he was
And still shed a tear for what he’s become

(Reba:)
She can live in that house, until the day
She sees that it’s only herself she can save

(Both:) ‘Cause she can’t save him

(Both:) And that day shell know, she hasn’t failed

(Reba:)
‘Cause nothing can change until he saves himself
‘Cause she can’t save him

(Trisha:) No, she can’t save him

(Both:) No she cant save him
