She Can (but she probably won't) Lyrics

She can be the serotonin balancing your mood

She can have you laughing for the entire afternoon

She can keep you moving with a soft and steady breath that keeps you from admitting you love her half to death

She can be the preacher who doesn't say a word and leaves you hanging on to what you haven't heard

She can be the teacher who shows you how to live and keeps you satisfied with a heart she'll never give

The same as any book you've read or any film you've seen

She puts you on the page while she acts the part on screen

You want so badly to believe in what she lets you see

But she's never the woman she says she means to be

She sees the cloud hanging over you as she walks you through the park

She's a lantern you carry as you stumble through the dark

Sitting next to you, you want to hold her hand

But she knows what you're thinking and she'll let you believe you can

She paints your picture like a work of art and leaves it hanging as it falls apart

She paints your picture like a work of art and she leaves it hanging as it falls apart

The same as any book you've read or any film you've seen (she paints your picture like a work of art)

She puts you on the page while she acts the part on screen

You want so badly to believe in what she lets you see (she it leaves it hangin', she leaves you hangin')

But she's never the woman

Never the woman she says she means to be

Never the woman
