1
I got the call today,
2
that I didn't wanna hear
3
but I knew that it would come.
4
An old, true friend of ours
5
was talkin' on the phone :
6
" She said you've found someone. "
7
And I thought of all the bad luck
8
and the struggles we went through.
9
And how I lost me
10
and you lost you.
11
What are these voices
12
outside love's open door ?
13
Make us throw off our contentment
14
and beg for something more.
15
I'm learning to live without you now
16
but I miss you sometimes.
17
The more I know,
18
the less I understand.
19
All the things I thought I knew,
20
I'm learning again.
21
I've been tryin' to get down
22
to the heart of the matter.
23
But my will gets weak
24
and my thoughts seem to scatter.
25
But I think it's about
26
forgiveness,
27
forgiveness.
28
Even if,
29
even if
30
you don't love me anymore.
31

33
All these times are so uncertain.
34
There's a yearning undefined
35
and people filled with rage.
36
We all need a little tenderness.
37
How can love survive
38
in such a graceless age ?
39
The trust and self-assurance
40
that lead to happiness,
41
they're the very things
42
we kill I guess.
43
Pride and competition
44
cannot fill these empty arms.
45
And the work I put between us,
46
you know it doesn't keep me warm.
47
I'm learning to live without you now
48
but I miss you, baby.
49
And the more I know,
50
the less I understand.
51
All the things I thought I'd figured out,
52
I have to learn again.
53
I've been trying to get down
54
to the heart of the matter.
55
But everything changes
56
and my friends seem to scatter.
57
But I think it's about
58
forgiveness,
59
forgiveness.
60
Even if,
61
even if
62
you don't love me anymore.
63
There are people in your life
64
who've come and gone.
65
They let you down
66
you know they hurt your pride.
67
You better put it all behind you baby;
68
cause life goes on.
69
You keep carryin' that anger;
70
it'll eat you up inside, baby !
71
I've been trying to get down
72
to the heart of the matter.
73
But my will gets weak
74
and my thought seem to scatter.
75
But I think it's about
76
forgiveness,
77
forgiveness.
78
Even if,
79
even if
80
you don't love me.
81
I've been tryin' to get down
82
to the heart of the matter.
83
Because the flesh will get weak
84
and the ashes will scatter.
85
So I'm thinkin' about
86
forgiveness,
87
forgiveness.
88
Even if,
89
even if
90
you don't love me.
91
{ Forgiveness }
92
Forgiveness - baby !
93
{ Forgiveness }
94
{ Forgiveness }
95
{ Forgiveness }
96
{ Forgiveness }
97
Even if,
98
you don't love me anymore !
