The Heart Of The Matter 가사

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 He 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 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 thoughts seem to scatter And I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if Even if you don't love me anymore All 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? All the trust and reassurance That lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess All pride and 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 sometimes The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I'd figured out I have to learn again Been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter And 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've let you down You know they've hurt your pride You better put it all behind you Baby, cus' life goes on You keep carryin' that anger It'll eat you up inside Now, baby 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 Trying to get down To the heart of the matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter And I'm thinkin' about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if you don't love me Forgiveness Even if You don't love me anymore
