The Heart Of The Matter(Album Version)

歌詞

I got the call today That I didn't wanna hear But I knew that it would come An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone She said you'd found someone And I thought of all the bad luck And all the struggles we went through How I lost me and you lost you What are all these voices outside love's open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more I've been 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 them again I've been trying 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 And people filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness Are the very things we kill I guess Pride and competition Cannot fill these empty arms And the work they put between us You know it doesn't keep us warm I've been trying 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 had to learn again I've been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my heart is so shattered 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 you know they hurt your pride You got to put it all behind you cause' life goes on You keep carrying anger it'll eat you up inside Live happily ever after And my heart is so shattered But I know it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if even if you don't love me I've been trying to get down To the heart of the matter Because the flesh gets weak And the ashes will scatter So I'm thinking about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if you don't love me anymore Even if you don't love me anymore
