And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew,
I've been trying to get down
to the Heart of the Matter
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
The trust and self-assurance
They're the very things we kill, I guess
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
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out,
I've been trying to get down
to the Heart of the Matter
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
it'll eat you up inside, baby
I've been trying to get down
to the Heart of the Matter
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me
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 thinking about forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me
