The Heart Of The Matter

Eagles

I got the call today, I didn´t wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin´ on the phone
She said you´d 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 contenment
And beg for something more?
I´m learning to live wihout 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 matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it´s about forgivness
Forgivness
Even if, even if you don´t love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There´s a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that lesd to happiness
They´re the very things - we kill guess
Pride a 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
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I´d 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 forgivness
Forgivness
Even 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 hurt you pride
You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on
You keep carryin´ that anger; it´ll eat you up inside, baby
I´ve been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thought seem to scatter
But I think it´s about forgivness
Forgivness
Even if, even if you don´t love me
I´ve been tryin´ to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I´m thinkin´ about forgivness
Forgivness
Even if, even if you don´t love me
Forgivness
Forgivness - baby
Even if, you don´t love me anymore
