I got the call today that I didn t want to 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
How I lost me, and you lost you
What are all these voices outside loves open door
Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more
I am 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 am learning again
I have 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 is about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if
Even if you don t love me anymore
Ah these times are so uncertain
There is a yearning undefined
People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
Oh the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They are the very things we kill
I guess
Oh pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us you know it doesn t keep me warm
I am 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 have been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
But everything changes and my friends seem to scatter
But I think it is about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if
Even if you don t love me anymore
There are people in your life who have come and gone
They let you down
You know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you babe coz life goes on
You keep carrying that anger
It will eat you up inside baby
I have 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 is about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if
Even if you don t love me
I have been 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 is about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if
Even if you don t love me
