Terri Clark - The One You Love lyrics

He sais 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 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 Her sister reads the bible her father sits and snores there 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 REPEAT CHORUS When someone's slippin away right before your eyes How useless we are is a painful surprise REPEAT CHORUS When you can't help the one you love
