From the recording Trapeze
. Hard Heart (2:31) Light-hearted, autobiographical love song. If you close your heart you
will never accomplish true love or the ability to grow. The character in the 3rd verse
finds someone equally flawed, and they work and evolve as one to make a new life.

Hard Heart McDonnell/Lindley ©2021
I had a hard heart
Nearly threw it all away
When you first called me to play
I said ‘not today’
I had a hard heart
Nearly broke a tooth
If you wanna know the truth
My heart was bulletproof
All those years of
Throwing sticks and stones
Fire in my bones
Yelling at my phone
I guess I shout to keep from crying
I scream to keep from dying
I bite you when you’re trying
To make me feel what’s real
I had a hard heart
Nearly lost my mind
I was running out of time
Then you dared to step inside
All those years of…
I guess I should to keep from crying…
I had a hard heart
Then you caught me in your arms
We shared all our bumps and scars
Love finds you where you are
Ain’t it funny and bizarre
Love finds you where you are
Ain’t it funny and bizarre
Love finds you where you are
