Shotgun vows

Verse 1

We didn’t plan the aisle, didn’t plan the rings,
Life came fast with a crown of heavy things.
Whispers in the church, but I don’t hear a sound,
Just your trembling hand, and the love we found.

Chorus

It’s a shotgun vow, but I’ll stand my ground,
Trading freedom for the faith we’ve bound.
Sacrifice is the fire, dedication the key,
Selfless love is the shelter that carries me.

Verse 2

The world says we’re rushing, but they don’t know the fight,
How we built a fortress in the middle of the night.
Security’s not money, it’s the promise we keep,
To guard each other’s hearts when the shadows creep.

Chorus

It’s a shotgun vow, but I’ll stand my ground,
Trading freedom for the faith we’ve bound.
Sacrifice is the fire, dedication the key,
Selfless love is the shelter that carries me.

Bridge

No fairy tale, no diamond crown,
But I’ll bleed for you, I won’t let you down.
In the chaos, in the storm,
I’ll be your safety, I’ll keep you warm.

Final Chorus (lifted, anthemic)

It’s a shotgun vow, but it feels like fate,
Love in the barrel, we won’t hesitate.
Sacrifice is the fire, dedication the key,
Selfless love is the shelter that carries me.

Outro

So let the church bells ring, let the whispers fade,
We built our forever in the vows we made.
