Letra da Música The Heart Of The Matter de Renato Russo

The Heart Of The Matter
Renato Russo:

I got the call today, And I didn't want to hear
But I knew that would come
An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
He said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck, and the
struggles we went through
How I lost me, and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
More I know, less I understand
All the things I thought I'd figured out
Have to learn again
I've been trying to get down
to the heart of the matter
But Everything change’s in mind thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All these times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined...
people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
how can love survive in such a graceless age?

All the trust and the assurance
that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess,
All pride and competition
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
But I miss you
More I now, the less I understand
All the things I thought I'd figured out

Have to learn again
I've been trying to get down
to the heart of the matter
But everything changes
and my, friends seem so scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

There are people in your life
who've come and gone
They let you down, you know,
they hurt your pride
put it all behind you baby; ‘cause life goes on
You keep carrying that anger,
it'll eat you up inside

now baby
I've been trying to get down
to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
and my thoughts seem so scatter
And I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me

Trying to get down
to the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
and the ashes will scatter
And I'm thinking about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, you don't love me
Ah, Oh, forgiveness
Even if, you don't love me anymore
