She Can't Save Him Lyrics

It�s one more morning after as she reaches for the phone
No he won�t be going into work today
It�s aspirin for his breakfast as she puts some coffee on
The night before still showing on his face

He lies to her,
She�s learned to lie for him.
The curtains are draw,
The truth can�t find it s way in

She can keep his little secret from everybody else,
She can hide that whiskey bottle a little higher on the shelf,
But she can�t save him from himself.

She puts on her make-up and she paints on a smile
Packs some clothes inside an old suitcase
She pulls off of the highway and she checks into a Comfort inn
It�s the key to her temporary state of grace

She�s been his rock,
She�s been his angel,
But she can�t be his god,
And deliver him from the gates of Hell.

She can keep his little secret from everybody else,
She can hide that whiskey bottle a little higher on the shelf,
But she can�t save him from himself.

And she says a prayer for both of them
�Cause she�s realized at last
That without tasting a single drop
She�s been drinking from the very same glass

She can keep his little secret from everybody else,
She can hide that whiskey bottle a little higher on the shelf,
But she can�t save him,
She can�t save him,
She can�t save him from himself.
