The Best That We Can

VS. 1
Last night I sat with my demons
sipping' tea in the parlor downstairs
I let 'em all stay
until they each had their say
then dismissed them politely with prayers

A woman like you is good reason
to hold court with these phantoms within'
Lest they run about
castin' shadows of doubt
on the life we're about to begin

CHORUS
No one knows better than me that I'm not always easy to love
But you hold my hand
you do the best that you can
and as long as we keep showin' up
the best that we can is good enough

BRIDGE
'Cause what's left to feel
after cupid stops shooting you straight through the heart?
Love becomes real
when the cruel hands of time come to tear us apart

VS. 3
Last night you sat with your demons
and you swore you saw more 'round the bend
No, the path ain't too clear
still I'm grateful my dear
to be walkin' beside my best friend

CHORUS
No one knows better than me that I'm not always easy to love
Yeah but you hold my hand
you do the best that you can
and the best that we can is good enough

CHORUS
But you hold my hand
you do the best that you can
and as long as we keep showin' up
the best that you can
the best that I can
the best that we can...
