The Heart of the Matter
I got the call today, I didn't want to hear but I knew that it would come.An 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 those 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 matterbut my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatterbut I think it's about forgiveness, forgivenesseven if, even if you don't love me anymore. These times are so uncertainThere's a yearning undefined.....people filled with rageSongtexteWe all need a little tendernessHow can love survive in such a graceless age?The trust and self-assurance that lead to happinessThey're the very things we kill, I guessPride and competitioncannot fill these empty armsAnd the work I put between us doesn't keep me warm I'm learning to live with out you nowBut I miss you, babyThe more I know, the less I understandAll the things I thought I'd figured outI have to learn againI've been trying to get downto the heart of the matterBut everything changesand my friends seem to scatterBut I think it's about forgivenessForgivenessEven 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've hurt your pride.You better put it behind you; 'cause life goes on.You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside baby, I've been trying to get downto the heart of the matterBut everything changesand my friends seem to scatterBut I think it's about forgivenessForgivenessEven if, even if you don't love me, I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matterbecause the flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter.So, I'm thinkin' about forgiveness, forgivenesseven if , even if you don't love me. Forgiveness, forgiveness,forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness,even if, even if you don't love me. Aus Songtexte Mania
