I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
A n old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She 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 f or something m ore?
I 'm learning to liv e 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 learn ing again
I 've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will g ets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you d on't lo ve me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
H ow 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,
You know it doesn 't keep me wa rm
I 'm learning to liv e without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
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 every thing changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you d on't lo ve me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They le t you down you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you, baby; 'cause life goes on
You keep carry in' that anger, it'll e at you up inside
I 've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will g ets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you d on't lo ve me anymore
I 've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh w ill get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you d on't lo ve me anymore
