You Can't Help the One You Love Written by - Gary Burr & Terri Clark From - Pain To Kill
He says it's none of my damn business
How much he drinks
And he doesn't have a problem
No matter 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
Her sister reads the Bible
Her father sits an' snores
They're with her every minute
'Cause they may not have many more
She was dancin' in New Orleans
Only seven weeks ago
Life may go on without her
But not the life we know
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
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
