The Heart Of The Matter
                          
                               I got the call today
  And I didn't want to hear
  But I knew that would come
  An old true friend of ours
  was talking on the phone
  He said you found someone
  And I thought of all the bad luck
  and 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'm learning to live without you now
  But I miss you sometimes
  More I know, less I understand
  All the things I thought I'd figured out
  Have to learn again
  I've been trying to get down
  to the heart of the matter
  But everything change's
  in mind thoughts seem to scatter
  But 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 the assurance
  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
  More I now, the less I understand
  All the things I thought I'd figured out
  Have to learn again
  I've been trying to get down
  to the heart of the matter
  But everything changes
  and my, friends seem so scatter
  But 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 let you down, you know,
  they hurt your pride
  put it all behind you baby
  'cause life goes on
  You keep carrying that anger
  it'll eat you up inside
  
  Now baby
  I've been trying to get down
  to the heart of the matter
  But my will gets weak
  and my thoughts seem so scatter
  And 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 thinking about forgiveness
  Forgiveness
  Even if you don't love me
  Oh, forgiveness
  Even if you don't love me anymore
