No Hard Feelings - Old Dominion

A breakup was hard on the artist, but it had to be done because he was being toxic (“Pissed at the world”), thinking that it was his fault. However, there was no bitterness involved. His ex moved onto someone else but there Is no hate towards one another (“I’m happy to see the happy back in your eyes”) The song does a interesting job adding in subtle “remedys” for the artists breakup such as time, tequila and therapy. But, it turns out the artist does actually enjoy each of those, so I would like to include things I like in my collection. The song is very uplifting, and it brings out a feeling of happiness for me. I really like how the song has a tropical-like vibe to it, and adding pictures of clocks, good times, tropical pictures, liquor and other things I enjoy should represent it.

I took a little time, tequila and therapy
And threw it in a blender with ice
I was more messed up than I cared to be
Spent a whole lot of lonely nights
I was mad at myself, pissed at the world
It was hard to get up, but I put one foot
In front of the other, kept on keepin' on
Going through the motions until
There was no hard feelings
And no bad vibes
I can honestly say
I'm happy to see the happy back in your eyes
You found somebody
Who painted your grey skies blue
Do I wish it was me? Hell yeah
Am I all the way over the pain? Not yet
But the sun keeps coming up, baby
And I'm still breathing
And there's no hard feelings, mm
Well, I probably owe you an apology
And some money for a new screen door
Your dad's probably glad to be rid of me
But that ain't me anymore
Hey, you love who you love
And you lose who you thought was the one
And you think that you might go crazy
And never get out of the rut
You get drunk, you hold on and let go of the grudge, 'til
There's no hard feelings
And no bad vibes
I can honestly say
I'm happy to see the happy back in your eyes
You found somebody
Who painted your grey skies blue
But do I wish it was me? Hell yeah
Am I all the way over the pain? Not yet
But the sun keeps coming up, baby
And I'm still breathing
Hey, there's no hard feelings
I was mad at myself, pissed at the world
It was hard to get up, but I put one foot
In front of the other, kept on keeping' on
Going through the motions until
There was no hard feelings
And no bad vibes
I can honestly say
I'm happy to see a little happy back in your eyes
You found somebody
Who painted your grey skies blue, good for you
But do I wish it was me? Hell yeah
Am I all the way over the pain? Not yet
But the sun keeps coming up, baby
And I'm still breathing
And there's no hard feelings, mm
I got no hard feelings
