Letra de The heart of the matter

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
He said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck, and the
struggles we went through
And 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
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew,
I´m learning 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...
people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age ?

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 I put between us
doesn´t keep me warm

I´m learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I now, the less I understand
All the things I thought I´d figured out

I have to learn again
I´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 anymore

There are people in your life
who´ve come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carryin´ that anger,
it´ll eat you up inside

I´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

I´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 thinkin´ about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don´t love me
