The Heart Of The Matter歌词

[00:22.585] I got the call today that I didn't want to hear
[00:26.951] But I knew that it would come
[00:33.104] An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
[00:37.799] She said you found someone
[00:43.669] And I thought of all the bad luck and the struggles we went through
[00:48.795] How I lost me, and you lost you
[00:54.734] What are all these voices outside loves open door
[00:59.774] Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more
[01:05.915] I am learning to live without you now
[01:13.178] But I miss you sometimes
[01:17.343] The more I know
[01:18.572] The less I understand
[01:21.530] All the things I thought I knew I am learning again
[01:27.691] I have been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
[01:32.508] But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter
[01:37.119] But I think it is about forgiveness
[01:41.919] Forgiveness
[01:43.359] Even if
[01:44.753] Even if you don't love me anymore
[01:59.189] Ah these times are so uncertain
[02:02.156] There is a yearning undefined
[02:04.907] People filled with rage
[02:09.994] We all need a little tenderness
[02:13.548] How can love survive in such a graceless age?
[02:21.202] Oh the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
[02:26.675] They are the very things we kill
[02:30.334] I guess
[02:32.043] Oh pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
[02:37.655] And the work I put between us you know it doesn't keep me warm
[02:43.707] I am learning to live without you now
[02:51.092] But I miss you baby
[02:55.041] The more I know
[02:56.909] The less I understand
[02:59.321] All the things I thought I figured out I have to learn again
[03:05.178] I have been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
[03:10.303] But everything changes and my friends seem to scatter
[03:15.062] But I think it is about forgiveness
[03:19.620] Forgiveness
[03:21.559] Even if
[03:22.685] Even if you don't love me anymore
[03:31.351] There are people in your life who have come and gone
[03:37.316] They let you down
[03:40.122] You know they hurt your pride
[03:42.954] You better put it all behind you babe coz life goes on
[03:48.449] You keep carrying that anger
[03:50.817] It will eat you up inside baby
[03:54.120] I have been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
[03:59.351] But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter
[04:03.952] But I think it is about forgiveness
[04:08.545] Forgiveness
[04:10.242] Even if
[04:11.732] Even if you don't love me
[04:15.892] I have been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
[04:20.866] Because the flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter
[04:26.008] So I think it is about forgiveness
[04:30.402] Forgiveness
[04:32.032] Even if
[04:33.307] Even if you don't love me
[04:38.734] Forgiveness
[04:41.304] Forgiveness
[04:44.078] Forgiveness
[04:46.615] Forgiveness
[04:49.450] Forgiveness
[04:52.356] Forgiveness
[04:54.571] Even if
[04:56.413] You don't love me anymore
