She Can't Save Him
Unveiling the Struggle: She Can't Rescue His Soul
Lyrics
She can hear his car as it pulls in the drive
She can sense his arrival as he drives into the driveway.
She can whisper a prayer thank God he's alive
She can silently express gratitude in a prayer that he's safe and alive.
She can meet him at the door, catch him when he falls
She can greet him at the door and support him when he's vulnerable.
She can even believe that it isn't his fault
She can genuinely believe that his troubles are not entirely his fault.
But she can't save him
Despite her efforts, she cannot rescue or fix him.
She can make his coffee in the cold light of day
She can prepare his coffee in the harsh light of day.
She can make his excuses, tell the boss he'll be late
She can provide excuses for him, informing his boss that he'll be late.
She can wave at the neighbors then kiss him goodbye
She can maintain appearances with neighbors and bid him farewell without discussing the previous night's events.
And not say a word about what happened last night
She can remain silent about the issues from the night before.
But she can't save him
However, despite these actions, she cannot save him.
Sometimes she dreams that he's caught in a stream
Sometimes she envisions him struggling in a metaphorical stream.
And the water keeps pulling him down
The water represents challenges pulling him down.
She reaches for him as he pulls her in
She tries to reach out to him as he pulls her into his struggles.
She wakes just before she drowns
She wakes up just before the dream reaches a drowning point.
She can remember the man that he was
She remembers the person he used to be and mourns the change in him.
And still shed a tear for what he's become
Despite the sadness, she sheds tears for the person he has become.
She can live in that house until the day
She can continue living in their home until she realizes she can only save herself.
She sees that it's only herself she can save
Recognizing that she cannot save him, she focuses on her own well-being.
'Cause she can't save him
Reiterating that she cannot rescue or change him.
And that day she'll know she hasn't failed
One day, she will understand that her worth is not determined by his failures.
'Cause nothing can change until he saves himself
Realizing that change can only happen when he decides to save himself.
No she can't save him
Confirming that, ultimately, she cannot save him.
