India Arie - The Heart Of The Matter
[00:21.81] I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
[00:26.38] But I knew that it would come
[00:32.10] An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
[00:36.75] She said you found someone
[00:42.25] And I thought of all the bad luck
[00:44.65] And all the struggles we went through
[00:47.45] How I lost me and you lost you
[00:53.48] What are these voices outside love's open door
[00:57.92] Make us throw off our contentment
[01:00.82] And beg for something more?
[01:04.33] I've been learning to live without you now
[01:11.18] But I miss you sometimes
[01:14.64] The more I know, the less I understand
[01:19.00] All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
[01:25.02] I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
[01:29.63] But my will gets weak
[01:32.98] And my thoughts seem to scatter
[01:34.57] But I think it's about forgiveness
[01:38.95] Forgiveness
[01:40.59] Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[01:49.88] ♪
[01:56.03] These times are so uncertain
[01:58.77] There's a yearning undefined
[02:01.36] And people filled with rage
[02:07.05] We all need a little tenderness
[02:09.53] How can love survive in such a graceless age
[02:17.16] And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
[02:22.44] They're the very things we kill, I guess
[02:28.20] Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
[02:32.96] And the work they put between us
[02:35.47] You know it doesn't keep us warm
[02:39.21] I've been trying to live without you now
[02:46.18] But I miss you, baby
[02:49.72] The more I know, the less I understand
[02:53.91] And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
[03:00.03] I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
[03:04.51] But my will gets weak
[03:07.97] And my heart is so shattered
[03:09.59] But I think it's about forgiveness
[03:14.09] Forgiveness
[03:15.59] Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[03:24.92] All the people in your life who've come and gone
[03:30.93] They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
[03:36.98] Better put it all behind you; 'cause life goes on
[03:41.35] You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside
[03:52.64] I wanna be happily, ever, after
[03:55.40] And my heart is so shattered
[03:56.99] But I know it's about forgiveness
[04:01.42] Forgiveness
[04:03.08] Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[04:08.65] I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
[04:13.02] Because the flesh will get weak
[04:16.51] And the ashes will scatter
[04:18.02] So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
[04:22.59] Forgiveness
[04:26.77] Even if you don't love me anymore
[04:37.45] Even if you don't love me anymore
[04:40.72] ♪
