But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours
She said you'd find someone
An d I thought of all the bad luck
And the struggles we went through
outside love's open door?
Make us throw off our contentment
and beg for something more
Yeah, I'm learning to live
All the things I thought I knew
I've been trying to get numb
To the heart of the matter
An d my thoughts seem to scatter
You don't love me anymore
All these times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
Ah, the trust and self -assurance
They're the only things we kill, I guess
Ah, pride and competition
cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I've put between us
You know it doesn't keep me warm
I'm learning to live without you now
All the things I thought I'd figured out
I've been trying to get down
to the heart of the matter
And my friends seem to scatter
You don't love me anymore
There are people in your life,
you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you babe,
You keep carrying that anger,
it'll eat you up inside baby
I've been trying to get down
to the heart of the matter
An d my thoughts seem to scatter
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
Forgiveness, for giveness
