Pegi Young & The Survivors
Heart of the Matter
[Verse 1]
I got the call today I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
And old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
And he said you'd found someone

[Pre-Chorus]
And I thought of all the bad luck
Struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves open door?
Make us throw up out contentment
And beg for something more

[Chorus]
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
More I know, the less I understand
Al the things I thought I knew
I'm learning again

And trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore

[Verse 2]
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive?
In such a graceless age
The trust and self assurance
That can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work you put between us
You know it didn't keep me warm

[Chorus]
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
More I know, the less I understand
Al the things I thought I figured out
I'm learning again

Been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore

[Bridge]
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, how they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you babe
'Cause life goes on
You keep carrying that anger
It'll eat you up inside, baby

[Chorus]
Been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore

Trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
