[ar:Eagles]
[00:22.104] I got the call today I didn't wanna hear
[00:26.902] But I knew that it would come
[00:32.965] An old true friend of ours was talkin'on the phone
[00:37.651] She said you found someone
[00:43.526] And I thought of all the bad luck
[00:46.73] And all the struggles we went through
[00:48.755] How I lost me and you lost you
[00:54.924] What are these voices outside love's open door
[00:59.410] Make us throw off our contentment
[01:02.48] And beg for something more
[01:05.874] I've been learning to live without you now
[01:12.925] But I miss you sometimes
[01:16.539] The more I know the less I understand
[01:21.162] All the things I thought I knew I'm learning them again
[01:27.192] I've been tryin'to get down to the Heart of the Matter
[01:31.882] But my will gets weak
[01:35.437] And my thoughts seem to scatter
[01:36.960] But I think it's about forgiveness
[01:41.593] Forgiveness
[01:43.19] Even if even if you don't love me anymore
[01:59.64] These times are so uncertain
[02:01.795] There's a yearning undefined
[02:04.517] And people filled with rage
[02:10.80] We all need a little tenderness
[02:13.347] How can love survive in such a graceless age
[02:20.819] And the trust and self-assurance that leads to happiness
[02:26.196] They're the very things we kill I guess
[02:31.827] Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
[02:36.988] And the work they put between us
[02:39.650] You know it doesn't keep us warm
[02:43.404] I've been trying to live without you now
[02:50.602] But I miss you baby
[02:54.234] The more I know the less I understand
[02:58.710] And all the things I thought I figured out I have to learn again
[03:04.850] I've been tryin'to get down to the Heart of the Matter
[03:09.327] But everything changes
[03:12.967] And my friends seem to scatter
[03:14.611] But i think it's about forgivenes
[03:19.341] Forgiveness
[03:20.765] Even if even if you don't love me anymore
[03:31.123] there are people in your life who've come and gone
[03:36.733] They let you down you know they hurt your pride
[03:42.843] Better put it all behind you cause life goes on
[03:47.932] You keep carrin'that anger it'll eat you up inside baby
[03:53.727] I've been trying to get down
[03:56.233] To the heart of the matter
[03:58.446] But my will gets weak
[04:01.873] And my thought seem to scatter
[04:03.477] But i think it's about forgiveness
[04:08.128] Forgiveness
[04:09.785] Even if,even if you don't love me
[04:15.657] I've been tryin'to get down
[04:18.219] To the heart of the matter
[04:20.69] Because the flesh will get weak
[04:23.635] And the ashes will scatter
[04:25.229] So i'm thinkin'about forgiveness
[04:29.913] Forgiveness
[04:31.409] Even if,even if you don't love me
[04:38.905] Forgiveness -yeah
[04:41.565] Forgiveness -baby
[04:43.757] Forgiveness
[04:46.239] Forgiveness
[04:49.224] Forgiveness
[04:51.693] Forgiveness
[04:54.453] Even if,you dont love me anymore
