The One You Love - Terri Clark

He says it’s none of my damn bussiness

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 reads the bible

Her father sits and snores

They’re with her every minute

'Cause they may not have many more

She was dancing in New Orleans

Only seven weeks ago

Life may go on with out 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 slipping 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…
