verse 1
He says it's none of my damn business, how much he drinks,
And he doesn't have a problem, no mater what the whole town thinks,
At his baby's birthday party, there was whiskey on his breath,
Everybody wants to save him, but he's not ready yet,
You wanna scream, you wanna cry,
You want someone to tell you why,
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough,
You hit your knees, you shake your fists,
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is,
When you can't help the one you love.
verse 2
You wanna scream, you wanna cry,
You want someone to tell you why,
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough,
You hit your knees, you shake your fists,
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is,
When you can't help the one you love.

When someone's slippin' away,
Right before your eyes,
How useless we are,
Is a painful surprise,
chorus
You wanna scream, you wanna cry,
You want someone to tell you why,
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough,
You hit your knees, you shake your fists,
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is,
When you can't help the one you love.
When you can't help the one you love.
