The Hard Way

Everybody in my house has been sick the last week, but I still managed to get a song written. Turning in a quick and easy lo-fi laptop recording this week.

Nobody told you how to let the best ones go
Nobody told you so how were you to know?
There’s some things you can only learn the hard way

She looked so good until you saw the splinters in her eyes
Well ain’t it awful but you just won’t compromise
There’s some things you’ll just have to learn the hard way

Love has seen it all
Love’s heard everything
Love loves it all
Love learned the hard way

Don’t try to count up all the ways you got it wrong
All it amounts to is the will to carry on
There’s some things you can only learn the hard way

So don’t you fear now, just take each breath for what it is
And what it is is another unexpected gift
There’s some things you’ll just have to learn the hard way

Love has seen it all
Love’s heard everything
Love loves it all
Love learned the hard way

    Beautiful song! It made me think about walking away from legalism and fundamentalism and learning to love instead of judge. Thank you, my sweet one!
