What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I got the call today, I didn't want to 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 those 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
I've been tryin' to get down
16
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 lead to happiness
28
They're the very things we kill, I guess
29
Pride and competition
30
cannot fill these empty arms
31
And the work I put between us doesn't keep me warm
32
I'm learning to live with out you now
33
But I miss you, baby
34
The more I know, the less I understand
35
All the things I thought I'd figured out
36
I have to learn again
37
I've been trying to get down
38
to the heart of the matter
39
But everything changes
40
and my friends seem to scatter
41
But I think it's about forgiveness
42
Forgiveness
43
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore.
44
There are people in your life
45
who've come and gone,
46
They let you down,
47
you know they've hurt your pride.
48
You better put it behind you;
49
'cause life goes on.
50
You keep carryin' that anger,
51
it'll eat you up inside baby,
52
I've been trying to get down
53
to the heart of the matter
54
But everything changes
55
and my friends seem to scatter
56
But I think it's about forgiveness
57
Forgiveness
58
Even if, even if you don't love me,
59
I've been tryin' to get down
60
to the heart of the matter
61
because the flesh will get weak
62
and the ashes will scatter.
63
So, I'm thinkin' about forgiveness,
64
forgiveness
65
even if , even if you don't love me.
66
Forgiveness, forgiveness,
67
forgiveness, forgiveness,
68
forgiveness, forgiveness,
69
even if, even if you don't love me.
