(Despite Yourself) You Love Her Anyway
Remixed 2024 - I played a Ash and blonde Zolla Custom Tele through POD XT (AC30 setting). Joe Stone played a 1963 Harmony H22 and in a style that really fit the song.

Story behind the song
What's to say - The triangle of Love, hate and You and regardless of how it makes absolutely no sense and Despite Yourself You Love Her Anyway. 2024 - Recently, refreshed the mix
Verse 3 is a nearly direct quote from Tennison's The Princess part iv. It fit well though I'm sure it's out of context here.
Lyrics
1. Love and regret and less pleasure than pain
Upon reflect, now, I just complain
Where the good of the day, becomes nights of regret
Where the pleasure is something to forget
A Bermuda triangle of love, hate and you
Became months of regrets and self abuse
Longing somehow for the past to change
Despite yourself you love her anyway
2. More of a hard fist than a soft kiss
Some in the past best forgotten than missed
You can reorder memories inside your mind
But they end the same every single time
3. Dear as remembered kisses after death (Alfred Tennison The Princess part iv)
Deep as your first love and wild with regret
On lips for others that you knew before
Oh death in life, the days that are no more
4. I guess its amazing what you get used too
Afraid to move past the comfort of the pain
Sometimes the life preserver is right in front of you
But it does help, when youre six feet under
