The Heart Of The Matter

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´d 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 contenment

And beg for something more?

I´m learning to live wihout 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

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 forgivness

Forgivness

Even if, even if you don´t love me anymore

These times are so uncertain

There´s a yearning undefined

And 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 lesd to happiness

They´re the very things - we kill guess

Pride a competition

Cannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between us

You know it doesn´t keep me warm

I´m learning to live without you now

But I miss you, baby

And the more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I´d figured out

I have to learn again

I´ve been trying to get down

To the heart of the matter

But everything changes

And my friends seem to scatter

But I think it´s about forgivness

Forgivness

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 you know they hurt you pride

You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on

You keep carryin´ that anger; it´ll eat you up inside, baby

I´ve been trying to get down

To the heart of the matter

But my will gets weak

And my thought seem to scatter

But I think it´s about forgivness

Forgivness

Even if, even if you don´t love me

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 forgivness

Forgivness

Even if, even if you don´t love me

Forgivness

Forgivness - baby

Even if, you don´t love me anymore
