I got the call today and I didn't want to hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
She said you'd 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 all these voices outside love's open door?
Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more
Chorus
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 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 anymore
Ah 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?
Oh the trust and self-assurance that leads to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Oh pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us you know it doesn't keep me warm
Chorus
I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I 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
Bridge
There are [C]people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you babe cuz life goes on
You keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside baby
Chorus
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
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
