The Heart of the Matter

The Heart Of The Matter - Julio Iglesias Jr.

I got the call today I didn't wanna hear

But I knew that it would come

An old true friend of ours was talking on 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 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

The more I know the less I understand

All the things I thought I knew I'm learning again

I've 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 it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if even if you don't love me anymore

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

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 I put between us

Doesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you Baby

The more I know the less I understand

All the things I thought I figured out I have to learn again

I've 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 even if you don't love me anymore

There are people in your life who've come and gone

They let you down and hurt your pride

Better put it all behind you life goes on

You keep carring that anger it'll eat you inside

I've 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 it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if even if you don't love me anymore

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

Forgiveness

Even if even if you don't love me anymore
