I got the call today that I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you'd 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

Chorus:
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak and my thoughts (friends) seem to scatter
But I think it's about...forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Ah, 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?

Ah, the trust and self-a__urance that lead to happiness
They're 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'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I'd figured out
I have to learn again

(Chorus)

There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby, 'cause life goes on
If you keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby

(Chorus)

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if, you don't love me...

Forgiveness (yeah)
Forgiveness (baby)
Forgiveness (ohh)
Forgiveness (ahh yeaaahhh)
Forgiveness (ohh)
Forgiveness
Even if, you don't love me anymore...
