Meaning of "Hard Luck" by Gin Wigmore

"Hard Luck" delves into the aftermath of a relationship that ended in heartbreak despite the efforts put in by the speaker. The lyrics reflect on giving everything in a relationship only to be faced with disappointment and failure. The repeated references to "Hard luck" echo a sense of resignation and acceptance of fate, suggesting that perhaps the relationship was doomed from the start. The speaker questions if they could have done anything differently to save it, wondering if they should have known better than to invest so much. The lines "How did we lose sight, With all we did, all we did, all we did right, Was not enough, not enough to make it right, Just enough to break it, if not enough to make it" encapsulate the helplessness felt when despite doing everything right, the relationship still falls apart. The lyrics convey deep emotions of regret, longing, and the difficulty in letting go.
