Heart of the Matter

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 someoneAnd I thought of all the bad luck

And the struggles we went through

And how I lost me and you lost youWhat 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 againI'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 anymoreAh, 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?Ah, the trust and self-assurance

That lead to happiness

They're the very things we kill, I guess

Ah, pride and competition

Cannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between us

You know, it doesn't keep me warmI'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 againI'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 forgiveness, forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymoreThere are people in your life

Who've come and gone

They let you down

You know they hurt your pride

You better put it all behind you, baby

'Cause' life goes on

If you keep carrying that anger

It'll eat you up inside, babyI'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 meI've been trying to get down

To the heart of the matter

Because the flesh will get weak

And the ashes will scatter

So I'm thinking about forgiveness, forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love meForgiveness

(Yeah)

Forgiveness

(Baby)

Forgiveness

(Oh, oh)

Forgiveness

(Ah, yeah)

Forgiveness

(Oh)

Forgiveness

Even if you don't love me anymoreForgiveness

(Oh)

Forgiveness

(Oh)

Forgiveness

Forgiveness
