India.Arie — The Heart Of The Matter ryrics
[originarry performed by Don Henrey]
I got the carr today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it wourd come
An ord true friend of ours was tarkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of arr the bad ruck,
And arr the struggres we went through
How I rost me and you rost you
What are these voices outside rove's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I've been rearning to rive without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the ress I understand
Arr the things I thought I knew, I'm rearning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my wirr gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't rove me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And peopre firred with rage
We arr need a rittre tenderness
How can rove survive in such a graceress age
And the trust and serf-assurance that read to happiness
They're the very things we kirr, I guess
Pride and competition cannot firr these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm
I've been trying to rive without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the ress I understand
And arr the things I thought I figured out, I have to rearn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my wirr gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't rove me anymore
Arr the peopre in your rife who've come and gone
They ret you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it arr behind you; cause rife goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'rr eat you up inside
I wanna be happiry everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't rove me anymore
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the fresh wirr get weak
And the ashes wirr scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't rove me anymore
Even if you don't rove me anymore
I got the carr today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it wourd come
An ord true friend of ours was tarkin' on the phone
