What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
2
But I knew that it would come
3
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
4
She said you found someone
5
And I thought of all the bad luck,
6
And the struggles we went through
7
And how I lost me and you lost you
8
What are these voices outside love's open door
9
Make us throw off our contentment
10
And beg for something more?
11
I'm learning to live without you now
12
But I miss you sometimes
13
The more I know, the less I understand
14
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
15
Chorus
16
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
17
But my will gets weak
18
And my thoughts seem to scatter
19
But I think it's about forgiveness
20
Forgiveness
21
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
22
These times are so uncertain
23
There's a yearning undefined
24
...People filled with rage
25
We all need a little tenderness
26
How can love survive in such a graceless age
27
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
28
They're the very things we kill, I guess
29
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
30
And the work I put between us,
31
Doesn't keep me warm
32
I'm learning to live without you now
33
But I miss you, Baby
34
The more I know, the less I understand
35
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
36
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
37
But everything changes
38
And my friends seem to scatter
39
But I think it's about forgiveness
40
Forgiveness
41
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
42
There are people in your life who've come and gone
43
They let you down and hurt your pride
44
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
45
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you inside
46
Repeat Chorus
47
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
48
Because the flesh will get weak
49
And the ashes will scatter
50
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
51
Forgiveness
52
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
