The Heart of the Matter(Live) (Live) - Don Henley[00:00:00]
Written by:Mike Campbell/Donald Hugh Henley/John Souther/John David Souther[00:00:02]
I got the call today I didn't want to hear[00:00:24]
But I knew that it would come[00:00:28]
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone[00:00:35]
She said you found someone[00:00:39]
And I thought of all the bad luck[00:00:45]
And the struggles we went through[00:00:48]
And how I lost me and you lost you[00:00:51]
What are those voices outside love's open door[00:00:57]
Make us throw off our contentment[00:01:02]
And beg for something more[00:01:05]
I'm learning to live without you now[00:01:09]
But I miss you sometimes[00:01:17]
The more I know the less I understand[00:01:20]
All the things I thought I knew I'm learning again[00:01:25]
I've been tryin' to get down[00:01:32]
To the heart of the matter[00:01:35]
But my will gets weak[00:01:37]
And my thoughts seem to scatter[00:01:40]
But I think it's about forgiveness[00:01:42]
Forgiveness[00:01:47]
Even if even if you don't love me anymore[00:01:49]
These times are so uncertain[00:02:06]
There's a yearning undefined[00:02:09]
And people filled with rage[00:02:12]
We all need a little tenderness[00:02:17]
How can love survive in such a graceless age[00:02:21]
Ah the trust and self assurance that lead to happiness[00:02:29]
They're the very things we kill I guess[00:02:35]
Oh pride and competition[00:02:41]
Cannot fill these empty arms[00:02:44]
And the work I put between us you know it doesn't keep me warm[00:02:47]
I'm learning to live with out you now[00:02:54]
But I miss you baby[00:03:01]
And the more I know the less I understand[00:03:05]
All the things I thought I'd figured out[00:03:10]
I have to learn again[00:03:13]
I've been trying to get down[00:03:16]
To the heart of the matter[00:03:19]
But everything changes[00:03:22]
And my friends seem to scatter[00:03:25]
But I think it's about forgiveness[00:03:27]
Forgiveness[00:03:32]
Even if even if you don't love me anymore[00:03:34]
There are people in your life[00:03:44]
Who've come and gone[00:03:47]
They let you down[00:03:50]
You know they've hurt your pride[00:03:53]
You better put it all behind you baby[00:03:57]
'Cause life goes on[00:04:00]
You keep carryin' that anger[00:04:02]
It'll eat you up inside baby[00:04:05]
I've been trying to get down[00:04:08]
To the heart of the matter[00:04:11]
But my will gets weak[00:04:13]
And my thoughts seem to scatter[00:04:17]
But I think it's about forgiveness[00:04:19]
Forgiveness[00:04:24]
Even if even if you don't love me[00:04:25]
I've been tryin' to get down[00:04:31]
To the heart of the matter[00:04:34]
Because the flesh will get weak[00:04:37]
And the ashes will scatter[00:04:40]
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness[00:04:42]
Forgiveness[00:04:47]
Even if even if you don't love me[00:04:49]
Forgiveness forgiveness baby[00:04:56]
Forgiveness forgiveness[00:05:02]
Forgiveness forgiveness[00:05:07]
Even if you don't love me anymore[00:05:13]
