HANGING BY A VOW
V1
I will take you at your word if you just say so
In the end trust is all we really have
But I'd be lying if I said I did not fear the worst
So don't be lying when you say you're still in love
CHORUS
I've been looking at
Our wedding photographs
Wondering if I really meant for better or worse
'Cause love's been hanging by a vow
And it seems the hardest time is now
To make good on those words that I said
V2
Still a voice inside my head says not to play the fool
That I've done all that I should have to do
But still I just can't shake echos of promises I've made
That keep me trying to pull us through
CHORUS

The Devil You Know

THE DEVIL YOU KNOW
V1
This devil I know ain't as bad as some
He gets me through hell on old familiar roads
It don't speak well of me this company I keep
But it's good to have an old friend in your time of need
CHORUS
I can't tell you why
I keep holding on to something I could've left long ago
But when your angels fly away
You’ll take the devil you know
V2
I remember a time this ol' devil was trying
To get me to see the grass was greener on her side
Well if I were a younger man you know I just might have given in
But thank God I've met enough Devils to know when to run

In The Meantime

IN THE MEANTIME
V1
Was it a moment of weakness or premeditated?
These things I ask myself a hundred times a day
V2
If you could give me an answer well it still wouldn't change
The price on the sign in the lawn of the home that we made
CHORUS
I still see you every time I look at our first child
Your eyes and a fear that he'll be just like you is all you’ve left behind
Now you got me thinking ‘bout forgiveness from the other side
Until God makes it here just pay your bills in the meantime
V3
Well maybe I should thank you for the scene that you made
It opened the door for others to love me more than you did
V4
But I can't say that it's better my heart it may never get right
But now I know I would rather walk by myself than sleep with a liar
CHORUS

Can't Help Who I Love

CAN'T HELP WHO I LOVE
V1
I guess it's safe to say you've moved on
I guess you're tired of not taking my calls
If I were a better man I give you space but then again
If I were a better man you'd not be gone
CHORUS
Well there was a time when you weren't too tired of trying
But the middle got too far from your side
Now I'm here holding on but seem to be the only one
Cause I can’t help who I love
Like you can't help who you don't
V2
I don't blame you now for going your own way
But don't blame me for not doing the same
Cause it's so hard to understand how we follow our hearts and end up in
such completely different places
CHORUS

I Won't Back Down

I WON”T BACK DOWN
V1
You were light as an angel
Making lines through the clouds
While the world’s spinning madly beneath it could never hold you down
V2
But, you can't fly forever
In the end, gravity wins
Now, your bones have been achin' and its taken your head for a spin
Don't you give up on me
CHORUS
When the ship that you're sailing is weathered and torn
And hope of a rescue looks dim in the eyes of the storm
I won't back down
V3
I was there when you were lonely
With no one there by your side
I was the one who took all that away
Now I aint giving it back
V4
So go meet your wits ending
Lose the end of your rope
Cause it's not so much where you are
But who you're with that keeps you going
Don't you give up on me
'Cause I won't give up on you
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Learning to lean ain't easy, baby
Leaning is learning how to let somebody else hold you up when that
CHORUS
