Adeline, Pt. Two

Paid his ten percent to his God above.
Barely pay our rent,
but he was nice enough to let you get stuck with a
misled man that spends your money and Sundays sleeping in.
You haven't prayed since 2006.
I might have led you astray,
but a lie probably had more to do with it.
You've got character enough for the both of us.
I keep doing things I'd rather not speak of.
You see life in my bloodshot eyes.
You keep it together when I'm losing my mind.
After everything I've done,
I'm not convinced I deserve you,
but I'll be damned if you aren't loved.
From room to hospital room, they fought it together.
That love was true, it was real, and it cannot be measured.
His lungs gave out, took his life, her direction.
There is no doubt, she should have left that town with her husband.
We've been incomplete since 2006.
Found our drugs, getting on just fine without him.
He had passion enough for the three of us.
We've all said things we'd rather not think of.
We'd light up just to hear him speak.
He'd be searching for freedom, like we're searching for peace.
He'd get old with his bride, he'd brag on his sons.
I'm not convinced we deserved this,
but I'll be damned if we aren't loved.
