《The Heart of the Matter》歌词

[00:00:22] I got the call today I didn't wanna hear

[00:00:24] But I knew that it would come

[00:00:32] An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone

[00:00:36] She said you found someone

[00:00:42] And I thought of all the bad luck

[00:00:44] And all the struggles we went through

[00:00:47] How I lost me and you lost you

[00:00:53] What are these voices outside love's open door

[00:00:58] Make us throw off our contentment

[00:01:00] And beg for something more

[00:01:04] I've been learning to live without you now

[00:01:11] But I miss you sometimes

[00:01:12] The more I know the less I understand

[00:01:19] All the things I thought I knew I'm learning them again

[00:01:25] I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

[00:01:29] But my will gets weak

[00:01:31] And my thoughts seem to scatter

[00:01:35] But I think it's about forgiveness

[00:01:38] Forgiveness

[00:01:39] Even if even if you don't love me anymore

[00:01:45] These times are so uncertain

[00:01:58] There's a yearning undefined

[00:02:00] And people filled with rage

[00:02:07] We all need a little tenderness

[00:02:09] How can love survive in such a graceless age

[00:02:17] And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness

[00:02:21] They're the very things we kill I guess

[00:02:28] Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms

[00:02:33] And the work they put between us

[00:02:35] You know it doesn't keep us warm

[00:02:39] I've been trying to live without you now

[00:02:46] But I miss you baby

[00:02:49] The more I know the less I understand

[00:02:54] And all the things I thought I figured out I have to learn again

[00:03:00] I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

[00:03:04] But my will gets weak

[00:03:07] And my heart is so shattered

[00:03:09] But I think it's about forgiveness

[00:03:11] Forgiveness

[00:03:15] Even if even if you don't love me anymore

[00:03:25] All the people in your life who've come and gone

[00:03:29] They let you down you know they hurt your pride

[00:03:37] Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on

[00:03:40] You keep carrin' that anger it'll eat you up inside

[00:03:56] I wanna be happily everafter

[00:03:57] And my heart is so shattered

[00:03:59] But I know it's about forgiveness

[00:04:00] Forgiveness

[00:04:01] Even if even if you don't love me anymore

[00:04:08] I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

[00:04:13] Because the flesh will get weak

[00:04:15] And the ashes will scatter

[00:04:18] So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness

[00:04:21] Forgiveness

[00:04:21] Even if you don't love me anymore

[00:04:43] Even if you don't love me anymore
