She said she'd stick with him   Until the very end   He believed what she said   When she said that she would      For better or for worse   That was the oath decreed   Two years later divorced   'cause of speed      Pull through, work it out   They all cried   To no avail   To no surprise   Two calloused hearts   Could no longer try   Although loved and supported   She continued to die      By her choice   All alone   Her drug addiction   Has destroyed the home   She lived her own life   By her own greed and will   Death's grip enslaves her   And flaunts the kill      Husband left staring at her sunken face   He weeps to himself:   "I showed her no grace   I had every chance to swallow my pride   And tell her how beautiful she was inside"      What have I now but memories   Death's taken the wife given to me      We're both alone   None to blame now   She's gone and the sadness turns to pain   I'll never be the same
