I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
|
But I knew that it would come
|
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
|
She said you found someone
|
And I thought of all the bad luck,
|
And the struggles we went through
|
And how I lost me and you lost you
|
What are these voices outside love's open door
|
Make us throw off our contentment
|
And beg for something more?
|
|
I'm learning to live without you now
|
But I miss you sometimes
|
The more I know, the less I understand
|
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
|
|
Chorus
|
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
|
But my will gets weak
|
And my thoughts seem to scatter
|
But I think it's about forgiveness
|
Forgiveness
|
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
|
|
These times are so uncertain
|
There's a yearning undefined
|
...People filled with rage
|
We all need a little tenderness
|
How can love survive in such a graceless age
|
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
|
They're the very things we kill, I guess
|
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
|
And the work I put between us,
|
Doesn't keep me warm
|
|
I'm learning to live without you now
|
But I miss you, Baby
|
The more I know, the less I understand
|
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
|
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
|
But everything changes
|
And my friends seem to scatter
|
But I think it's about forgiveness
|
Forgiveness
|
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
|
|
There are people in your life who've come and gone
|
They let you down and hurt your pride
|
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
|
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you inside
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
|
Because the flesh will get weak
|
And the ashes will scatter
|
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
|
Forgiveness
|
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
|
