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  all  the  struggles  we  went  through
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've  been  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  them  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  forgiveness
Forgiveness
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
And  the  trust  and  self-assurance  that  leads  to  happiness
They're  the  very  things  we  kill  I  guess
Pride  and  competition  cannot  fill  these  empty  arms
And  the  work  they  put  between  us
You  know  it  doesn't  keep  us  warm
I've  been  trying  to  live  without  you  now
But  I  miss  you  baby
The  more  I  know  the  less  I  understand
And  all  the  things  I  thought  I  figured  out  I  have  to  learn  again
I'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  forgivenes
Forgiveness
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  your  pride
Better  put  it  all  behind  you  cause  life  goes  on
You  keep  carrin'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  forgiveness
Forgiveness
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  forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even  if,even  if  you  don't  love  me
Forgiveness -yeah
Forgiveness -baby
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even  if,you  dont  love  me  anymore
