Megan Hilty - The Heart Of The Matter lyrics

rate me

I got the call today I didn't wanna hear,

But I knew that it would come.

An 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 all 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 understand.

All the things I thought I knew

I'm learning again.

I've been trying to get down

To 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.

All these times are so uncertain.

There's a yearning undefined.

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 lead to happiness,

They're the very things we kill, I guess.

Pride and 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!

The more I know the 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.

And I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness,

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore!

There are people in your life who have come and gone.

They let you down, and they hurt your pride.

Better put it all behind you 'cause life goes on.

Keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside.

I'm learning to live without you now,

But I miss you sometimes!

The more I know the less I understand,

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore!
