India Arie The Heart of the Matter Lyrics

I got the call today, 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 found someone.
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through.
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've been 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 them again.
I've 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 it's about forgiveness...
Forgiveness.
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore.

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?
And the trust and self-a__urance that lead to happiness
Are the very things we kill, I guess.
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now.
But I miss you, baby.
The more I know, the less I understand.
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again.
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter,
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered.
But I think it's about forgiveness...
Forgiveness.
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore.

All the people in your life who've come and gone.
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride.
Gotta put it all behind you; cause life goes on.
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside.

I wanted happily everafter
But my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will gets weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore

Even if you don't love me anymore
