Eagles – The Heart Of The Matter lyrics

I got the call today, that I didn't wanna? hear
But I knew that it would come
Old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves open door
Make us throw of our contentment
And beg for something more?

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
And the more I know, less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All these times are so uncertain
Though the yearning undefined
And then 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 leads to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Our pride and competition
Can not 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, less I understand
All the things I thought I 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 its about forgiveness
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
You better put it all behind you baby; ?coz life goes on
You keep carrying that anger, It will 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 thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me?

I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinking about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me?

Forgiveness? (6 X)

Even if you don't love me anymore.

(life goes on... fresh horses)
