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
She said you 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 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 tryin` 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
They`re 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
The more I know, the less I understand
And 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 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
All the people in your life who`ve come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin` that anger, it`ll eat you up inside
I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it`s about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don`t love me anymore
I`ve been tryin` to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I`m thinkin` about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don`t love me anymore
Even if you don`t love me anymore
