about

What you did for love was easy, it's what you'll do in spite that's hard. These words, written by Harry, spoke to me so deeply. He had written the first two verses and the chorus but gave up on it in a Harry fashion when it comes to golden nuggets. I picked it up out of the save-for-later bin and ran. It's a song about two people who fall in love and try their best, even when the timing isn't right and they both know it. There is hope along with deep sadness and growth in this song. We love how simple and lovely it turned out.

lyrics

On the good days he would miss her like a souvenir
And the bad ones he would miss her like a limb
He’d remind himself of just how good he’d had it
And get stuck on what he’d never have again

She could wear all her burdens like a feather
But mostly she’d just wear herself too thin
She knew just how to keep her life together
But she couldn’t always keep on loving him


Hunny, there’s no virtue in following your heart
What you did for love was easy
It’s what you’ll do in spite that’s hard.

When the giving dries up
And the cup in hand it lacks a liquid shine
All there is to do is give in to the aching
And to give up for the sake of losing time

Hunny, there’s no virtue in following your heart
What you did for love was easy
It’s what you’ll do in spite that’s hard

What you did for love was easy
It’s what you’ll do in spite that’s hard
It’s what you’ll do in spite that’s hard
