Lyrics of
The Heart Of The Matter

I got a call today that I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
She said you found someone
Pre-Chorus
And I thought of all the bad luck and struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are all these voices outside love's opened door
Because through 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 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
All these times are so uncertain
Though the yearning undefined
People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
Pre-Chorus
The trust in self-assurance that lead to happiness
There 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 warm
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
And 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 go
They let you down and they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you 'cause life goes on
Keep carrying that anger, it will eat you up inside
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
