I

got

the

call

to-

day,

I

did-

n't

wan-

na

hear

But

I

knew

that

it

would

come

An

old

true

friend

of

ours

was

talk-

in'

on

the

phone

She

said

you

found

some-

one

And

I

thought

of

all

the

bad

luck,

And

the

strug-

gles

we

went

through

And

how

I

lost

me

and

you

lost

you

What

are

these

voi-

ces

out-

side

love's

o-

pen

door

Make

us

throw

off

our

con-

tent-

ment

And

beg

for

some-

thing

more?

I'm

learn-

ing

to

live

with-

out

you

now

But

I

miss

you

some-

times

The

more

I

know,

the

less

I

un-

der-

stand

All

the

things

I

thought

I

knew,

I'm

learn-

ing

a-

gain

I've

been

trying

to

get

down

to

the

Heart

of

the

Mat-

ter

But

my

will

gets

weak

And

my

thoughts

seem

to

scat-

ter

But

I

think

it's

a-

bout

for-

give-

ness

For-

give-

ness

E-

ven

if,

e-

ven

if

you

don't

love

me

a-

ny-

more

These

times

are

so

un-

cer-

tain

There's

a

yearn-

ing

un-

de-

fined

And

peo-

ple

filled

with

rage

We

all

need

a

litt-

le

ten-

der-

ness

How

can

love

sur-

vive

in

such

a

grace-

less

age

The

trust

and

self-

as-

su-

rance

that

lead

to

hap-

pi-

ness

They're

the

ve-

ry

things

we

kill,

I

guess

Pride

and

com-

pe-

ti-

tion

can-

not

fill

these

emp-

ty

arms

And

the

work

I

put

bet-

ween

us,

You

know

it

does-

n't

keep

me

warm

I'm

learn-

ing

to

live

with-

out

you

now

But

I

miss

you,

ba-

by

The

more

I

know,

the

less

I

un-

der-

stand

All

the

things

I

thought

I

fi-

gured

out,

I

have

to

learn

a-

gain

I've

been

trying

to

get

down

to

the

heart

of

the

mat-

ter

But

eve-

ry-

thing

chan-

ges

And

my

friends

seem

to

scat-

ter

But

I

think

it's

a-

bout

for-

give-

ness

For-

give-

ness

E-

ven

if,

e-

ven

if

you

don't

love

me

a-

ny-

more

There

are

peo-

ple

in

your

life

who've

come

and

gone

They

let

you

down,

you

know

they

hurt

your

pride

You

bet-

ter

put

it

all

be-

hind

you,

ba-

by,

'cause

life

goes

on

You

keep

car-

ry-

ing

that

an-

ger,

it'-

ll

eat

you

up

in-

side,

ba-

by

I've

been

trying

to

get

down

to

the

Heart

of

the

Mat-

ter

But

my

will

gets

weak

And

my

thoughts

seem

to

scat-

But

I

think

it's

a-

For-

E-

you

don't

I've

been

trying

to

get

down

to

the

Heart

of

the

Mat-

ter

Be-

cause

the

flesh

will

get

weak

And

the

a-

will

scat-

So

I'm

think-

ing

a-

for-

For-

E-
