Don Henley - The Heart Of The Matter Lyrics
I got the call today, I didnt wanna hearBut I knew that it would comeAn old, true friend of ours was talkin on the phoneShe said youd found someoneAnd I thought of all the bad luck,And the struggles we went throughAnd how I lost me and you lost youWhat are these voices outside loves open doorMake us throw off our contentmentAnd beg for something more?Im learning to live without you nowBut I miss you sometimesThe more I know, the less I understandAll the things I thought I knew, Im learning againIve been tryin to get downTo the heart of the matterBut my will gets weakAnd my thoughts seem to scatterBut I think its about forgivenessForgivenessEven if, even if you dont love me anymoreThese times are so uncertainTheres a yearning undefinedAnd people filled with rageWe all need a little tendernessHow can love survive in such a graceless age?The trust and self-assurance that lead to happinessTheyre the very things - we kill I guessPride and competitionCannot fill these empty armsAnd the work I put between usYou know it doesnt keep me warmIm learning to live without you nowBut I miss you, babyAnd the more I know, the less I understandAll the things I thought Id figured outI have to learn againIve been trying to get downTo the heart of the matterBut everything changesAnd my friends seem to scatterBut I think its about forgivenessForgivenessEven if, even if you dont love me anymoreThere are people in your life whove come and goneThey let you down you know they hurt your prideYou better put it all behind you baby; life goes onYou keep carryin that anger; itll eat you up inside, babyIve been trying to get downTo the heart of the matterBut my will gets weakAnd my thought seem to scatterBut I think its about forgivenessForgivenessEven if, even if you dont love meIve been tryin to get downTo the heart of the matterBecause the flesh will get weakAnd the ashes will scatterSo Im thinkin about forgivenessForgivenessEven if, even if you dont love meForgivenessForgiveness - babyForgivenessForgivenessForgivenessForgivenessEven if, you dont love me anymoreFade
