The Heart Of The Matter
Hey people..this is my new favorite song..i listened to it courtesy of a great girl..DORIS OGALE
it made me think..and realise we don't have to hold on to stuff..
it also helped me when my girl told me she ran into my ex at Silverbird with a babe..oh well...it is expected
It was originally done by DON HENLEY

The Heart Of The Matter
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 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 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 understandAll the things I thought I knew,
I'm learning againI've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the MatterBut my will gets weakAnd my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgivenessForgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertainT
here's a yearning undefined...
People filled with rageWe all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill,
I guessPride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
Doesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you,
BabyThe more I know, the less I understandAll the things I thought I figured out,
I have to learn againI've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgivenessForgiveness
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 and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside

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 forgiveness
ForgivenessEven if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weakAnd the ashes will scatterSo I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
