This Heart
Liner Notes
“This Heart” - #fawm 50/90 2024 song 37
More lyrics from last summer that have been waiting for a melody all this time. I don’t remember what the prompt was. I used the #2chord challenge to play with this draft, and ended up with just two chords at the end of it (which is unusual for me).
I think the melody will still shift and solidify a little bit, but this is getting to where I like it, so I thought I would share a demo.
14 lyric-only drafts from 2024 left to finish…

Lyrics
Hit the courtyard cookout with a bottle of wine
You didn’t show, it was a hell of a time
A neighbor on guitar without a strap
Played music like the soundtrack to a trap
I got a fever
Sleepless nights
My head, my stomach, putting up a fight
Applying herbs and saying prayers
It’s done before it starts
You said that you could heal this heart
Back at home too late and the bottle’s drained
I’m still alone and my bones won’t sit straight
I’m rounding on the reason for my pain
It’s sounding like you won’t be back again
CHORUS
Who’s gonna sew me up? Not you
Maybe I’ll ask the doctor to
Just suture through my cells and molecules
I know our diagnosis
Like the back of my prognosis
CHORUS X2
