--- Start Of Heart Of The Matter Don Henley ---

I got the call today ... that I didnt wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin on the phone
She said youd 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 loves open door
Make us throw off our contentment ... and beg for something more

Im 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 ... Im learning again
Ive been tryin to get down ... to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak ... and my thoughts seem to scatter but I think its about
Forgiveness ... forgiveness ... even if .. even if ... you dont love me

These times are so uncertain ... Theres a yearning undefined and 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 lead to happiness
Theyre the very things ... we kill I guess
Pride and competition ... cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us ... you know it doesnt keep me warm

Im 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 Id figured out ... I have to learn again
Ive been trying to get down ... to the heart of the matter
But everything changes ... and my friends seem to scatter but I think its about
Forgiveness ... forgiveness ... even if .. even if ... you dont love me

There are people in your life ... whove come and gone
They let you down ... you know they hurt your pride
You keep carryin that anger ... itll eat you up inside, baby

Ive been trying to get down ... To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak And my thought seem to scatter But I think its about
Forgiveness ... forgiveness ... even if .. even if ... you dont love me

Ive been tryin to get down ... to the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak ... and the ashes will scatter so Im thinkin about
Forgiveness .. forgiveness ... even if ... even if ... you dont love me
Forgiveness ... forgiveness ... baby ... forgiveness ... forgiveness
Forgiveness ... forgiveness ... even if ... you dont love me anymore
