Avett Brothers, The - No Hard Feelings Lyrics






When my body won't hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Will I be ready?
When my feet won't walk another mile
And my lips give their last kiss goodbye
Will my hands be steady?

When I lay down my fears
My hopes and my doubts
The rings on my fingers
And the keys to my house
With no hard feelings

When the sun hangs low in the west
And the light in my chest
Won't be kept held at bay any longer
When the jealousy fades away
And it's ash and dust for cash and lust
And it's just hallelujah
And love in thoughts and love in the words
Love in the songs they sing in the church
And no hard feelings

Lord knows they haven't done
Much good for anyone
Kept me afraid and cold
With so much to have and hold

When my body won't hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south
Through Georgia grain or tropical rain
Or snow from the heavens?

Will I join with the ocean blue
Or run into the savior true
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night
Straight to the light
Holding the love I've known in my life
And no hard feelings

Lord knows they haven't done
Much good for anyone
Kept me afraid and cold
With so much to have and hold
Under the curving sky
I'm finally learning why
It matters for me and you
To say it and mean it too
For life and its loveliness
And all of its ugliness
Good as its been to me
I have no enemies
I have no enemies
I have no enemies
I have no enemies

    My Mother passed away Thanksgiving night. She had requested this song and it was played at her graveside.

  2. k.... h....

    To kat. Happy birthday my sweet. We should be having a birthday party for you today and not planning a celebration of your life. You were still laughing and smiling 4 days ago even though you got moved to the icu. To the beach lover and food connoisseur and crazy cat lady we adored. 💔

    I like when songs sing about death. Not in a macabre way, but because it’s something we can all relate too. Not everyone will fall in love or have their heart broken, like most songs talk about. But everyone will have to say goodbye to a friend or loved one, and we will all have to come to terms with our own mortality someday. It’s good to sit and think about death sometimes, and I don’t think we do it enough because we’re all too busy trying to survive.

  4. J.... B....

    I grew up listening to you guys and always loved your voices n music .❤️🤠👍

    That is the deepest song I've ever heard, it's been a while since I have heard this song and when they say, "Walk through the night straight to the light, holding the Love I've known in my life, and no hard feelings." It's so true, my family has been going through a very hard time, this song reminds me to forgive and remember the love in my life. And when they said meet the Savior True, that's what will happen, and God says to forgive.

  28. B.... P....

    (C) Jacques Chirac
    Les Guignols, Canal+, the last episode, June 22, 2018
    Final song in the show

  59. M.... C....

    I‘m reading a book where the avett brothers are mentioned. And now I just discovered this song. Within less than two months my grandmas and my grandpa died. Both of my grandmas died because of cancer. And now I just feel so lost. I can’t believe that I clicked this song. I started crying only by reading the comments. I just hope that they’re all together. I hope my grandma Gerda will see her husband I never got to meet again. I hope they’ll all see each other. I have the feeling that they are my angels and that they protect me. I can’t imagine everything happening without you. Christmas without you. I will love you forever. Thank you for the best childhood.

  60. k.... l....

    I sit here in the middle of the desert and play this song. My heart cries out of the man I used to be. But the passing of time , the time I used and never thought that would end but would last forever, I feel its pain and end.

  61. 4.... ....

    Take this kiss upon the brow
    And in parting from you now
    Thus much let me avow
    You are not wrong who deem
    That all my life has been a dream..
    Yet if hope has flown away
    In a night or in the day
    In a vision or in none
    Is it therefore the less gone?
    All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream

  62. C.... M....

    I have no enemies

  63. E.... H....

    Ugly crying. Let’s all make the most of our legs and lips -meet new people, learn all we can, and stay in touch with our loved ones, letting emotions flow, before it’s all gone.

  64. B.... N....

    I was just at their show on the 29th and heard this song for the first time. I looked over and saw my mom choking up, wiping tears from her eyes. I know she was thinking about my cousin who just passed away. My mind went to the exact same place. It's always hard to lose someone, but I know that he's somewhere much better than here. Hearing this song helped me to really believe it. Thank you, Avett Brothers, for putting things into perspective. Your beautiful words and beautiful voices are helping to heal this pain. This song couldn't have blessed my ears at a better time. Thank you<3

  65. L.... S....

    This song came on in my car the day after my Dad passed. I know deep in my heart that he sent the song to me. Such a beautiful and sad song.

  66. A.... A....

    Bob Crawford.... I am SOOOOOOOO HAPPY you guys found each other! Living in Idaho, and I have met folks out here who are nutz about Avetts... Hope you and your family are doing well these days... think about you often and the big leap of faith you took by signing on to play with these brothers. Best wishes to all of you... always!

  67. L.... H....

    I came across this song this summer, around the time my wife was diagnosed with the heart problem that ultimately took her last week. She went peacefully with me and our daughter by her side. While this song rips me up, it is perfect, and we are planning on playing it at her service.

  97. C.... K....

    Well I’d say this is the most perfect song ever written.

  98. G.... H....

    this song is one of many of theirs that can cause me to just break down. Life and it's loveliness...and all of it's ugliness...

  99. L.... S....

    My mother passed away after a long battle with cancer yesterday afternoon. We are all still so very raw but I wanted to express my love and gratitude for this song and The Avett Brothers for writing it and putting into words so beautifully the emotions and thoughts one has as they are told the news 'it's terminal'. She was a beautiful soul and this song was played at her Life Celebration 2 weeks before she passed and it was on her playlist of music she wanted played until she took her last breath.
    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts <3

    L.... S....

    After losing my father a month ago, this came on the radio randomly. It spoke to me volumes !
    Thanks so much for such a beautiful song of healing !
