[00:00:00] The Heart of the Matter(Live) (Live) - Don Henley

[00:00:02] Written by：Mike Campbell/Donald Hugh Henley/John Souther/John David Souther

[00:00:24] I got the call today I didn't want to hear

[00:00:28] But I knew that it would come

[00:00:35] An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone

[00:00:39] She said you found someone

[00:00:45] And I thought of all the bad luck

[00:00:48] And the struggles we went through

[00:00:51] And how I lost me and you lost you

[00:00:57] What are those voices outside love's open door

[00:01:02] Make us throw off our contentment

[00:01:05] And beg for something more

[00:01:09] I'm learning to live without you now

[00:01:17] But I miss you sometimes

[00:01:20] The more I know the less I understand

[00:01:25] All the things I thought I knew I'm learning again

[00:01:32] I've been tryin' to get down

[00:01:35] To the heart of the matter

[00:01:37] But my will gets weak

[00:01:40] And my thoughts seem to scatter

[00:01:42] But I think it's about forgiveness

[00:01:47] Forgiveness

[00:01:49] Even if even if you don't love me anymore

[00:02:06] These times are so uncertain

[00:02:09] There's a yearning undefined

[00:02:12] And people filled with rage

[00:02:17] We all need a little tenderness

[00:02:21] How can love survive in such a graceless age

[00:02:29] Ah the trust and self assurance that lead to happiness

[00:02:35] They're the very things we kill I guess

[00:02:41] Oh pride and competition

[00:02:44] Cannot fill these empty arms

[00:02:47] And the work I put between us you know it doesn't keep me warm

[00:02:54] I'm learning to live with out you now

[00:03:01] But I miss you baby

[00:03:05] And the more I know the less I understand

[00:03:10] All the things I thought I'd figured out

[00:03:13] I have to learn again

[00:03:16] I've been trying to get down

[00:03:19] To the heart of the matter

[00:03:22] But everything changes

[00:03:25] And my friends seem to scatter

[00:03:27] But I think it's about forgiveness

[00:03:32] Forgiveness

[00:03:34] Even if even if you don't love me anymore

[00:03:44] There are people in your life

[00:03:47] Who've come and gone

[00:03:50] They let you down

[00:03:53] You know they've hurt your pride

[00:03:57] You better put it all behind you baby

[00:04:00] 'Cause life goes on

[00:04:02] You keep carryin' that anger

[00:04:05] It'll eat you up inside baby

[00:04:08] I've been trying to get down

[00:04:11] To the heart of the matter

[00:04:13] But my will gets weak

[00:04:17] And my thoughts seem to scatter

[00:04:19] But I think it's about forgiveness

[00:04:24] Forgiveness

[00:04:25] Even if even if you don't love me

[00:04:31] I've been tryin' to get down

[00:04:34] To the heart of the matter

[00:04:37] Because the flesh will get weak

[00:04:40] And the ashes will scatter

[00:04:42] So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness

[00:04:47] Forgiveness

[00:04:49] Even if even if you don't love me

[00:04:56] Forgiveness forgiveness baby

[00:05:02] Forgiveness forgiveness

[00:05:07] Forgiveness forgiveness

[00:05:13] Even if you don't love me anymore
