The Heart Of The Matter （Live）-Eagles
Written by ：Mike Campbell/Donald Hugh Henley/John Souther/John David Souther
I got the call today I didnt want to hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkinon the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are those voices outside loves open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more
Im learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
And the more I know less I understand
All the things I thought I knew Im learning again
Ive been tryinto get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if even if you dont love me anymore
Oh these times are so uncertain
Theres a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
Ah the trust and self assurance that lead to happiness
Theyre the very things we kill I guess
Oh pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us you know it doesnt keep me warm
Im learning to live with out you now
But I miss you baby
And the more I know the less I understand
All the things I thought Id figured out
I have to learn again
Ive been trying to get down
To the heartof the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if even if you dont love me anymore
There are people in your life
Whove come and gone
They let you down
You know theyve hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby
Cause life goes on
You keep carryinthat anger
Itll eat you up inside
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if even if you dont love me
Been tryinto get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So Im thinkinabout forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if even if you dont love me
Forgiveness forgiveness baby
Forgiveness forgiveness
Forgiveness forgiveness
Even if you dont love me anymore
Thank you
