My Terracotta Heart Lyrics
And the bright rays
We got in summertime
Seemed like a breath of fresh air
Back in the summertime
When we were more like brothers
But that was years ago
So if it doesn't seem
Like a protocol
I'm running out of heart today
I'm running out of open road to you
And I know
You are emoting and you're dazed
Is something broke inside you
Cos at the moment I'm lost and feeling that I don't know
If I'm losing you again
And when we fly tomorrow
Over the Java Sea
And my younger match
Will be there with me
Cos they remind of swimming
Out too far one day
Then then coral was gone
But I didn't care anyway
I was running out of heart that day
I was running out of open road to you
And I know
I was emoting, I was dazed
Is something broke inside me
Cos at the moment I'm lost and feeling that I don't know
If I'm losing you again
I'm running out of heart here
Just sitting out the constant doubt in my day
But I don't know what it is
I'm sweating out the toxins
Is my terracotta heart breaking I don't know
If I'm losing you
If I'm losing you again
We got in summertime
Seemed like a breath of fresh air
Back in the summertime
When we were more like brothers
But that was years ago
So if it doesn't seem
Like a protocol
I'm running out of open road to you
And I know
You are emoting and you're dazed
Is something broke inside you
Cos at the moment I'm lost and feeling that I don't know
If I'm losing you again
Over the Java Sea
And my younger match
Will be there with me
Cos they remind of swimming
Out too far one day
Then then coral was gone
But I didn't care anyway
I was running out of open road to you
And I know
I was emoting, I was dazed
Is something broke inside me
Cos at the moment I'm lost and feeling that I don't know
If I'm losing you again
Just sitting out the constant doubt in my day
But I don't know what it is
I'm sweating out the toxins
Is my terracotta heart breaking I don't know
If I'm losing you
If I'm losing you again

Graham told NME that it's about his and Damon's relationship:
"I knew it was going to be an incredibly sad song, which is why I put the crying guitar on there. What I didn’t know at the time was that the lyrics would turn out to be about Damon and I, our long-term friendship and the ups and downs we’ve had."
Sounds very much like a track from Albarn's recent solo album. It is nice to see the Albarn-Coxon relationship addressed: far too often the band avoid exploring their own emotions.
This song is mainly about Damon’s relationship with Graham Coxon. The Guardian shared an article in July 2015 stating: Coxon’s relationship with Albarn has long been the focal point of the group, and Albarn addresses this relationship on the new song My Terracotta Heart. “I don’t know if I’m losing you again,” he sings in that instantly recognisable melancholic tone.
