Day #2- "So Long Feeble Heart"

Well this day wasn't quite as inspired as yesterday.

One of the toughest parts of songwriting is sticking through a difficult song to write, and just finishing it. I can't tell you how many half written songs I have lying around in lyric books around my apartment. Sometimes the most exciting new ideas at the time are the ones you end up rediscovering years later, unfinished.

"So Long Feeble Heart"

I see you there
Your blue eyes behind wavy brown hair
You aren't the one that I need
So long

I've played around
Given my heart freely out
But close to my chest are the cards I've got left
So long

So long feeble heart

A quick smile and a fading sense of self worth
An insecure moment that leaves you with her
A moment of weakness you can't take back

We're looking for peace in the midst of a war
We're searching for love in the arms of a whore
Out hearts are a battlefield, gather your guns

So long feeble heart
