Letra de 'The Heart Of The Matter' de Eagles

I got the call today
I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would be come.
An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone.
She said you'd found someone.
And I thought of all the bad luck.
And the struggles we went through.
And 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 something more?

I'm learning to live without you now.
But I miss you sometimes.
And the more I know
The less I understand
All the things I thought I knew
I'm learning 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 the people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such 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.
And the more I know,
The less I understand
All the things I thought I'd 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 it's 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
'Cause life goes on
You keep carryin' 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 thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if
You don't love me anymore

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 thinkin' about
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if
You don't love me anymore
