The Heart of The Matter - Renato Russo

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

He said you 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

I've been tryin' to get downto the heart of the matter

But my will gets weak and my thoughtsseem

to scatterBut I think it's about f

orgiveness Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain

There's a yearning undefined...people filled with rage

We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive in such a graceless age ?

The trust and self-assurancethat lead to happiness

They're the very things we kill, I guess

Pride and competitioncannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between usdoesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you, baby

The more I now, the less I understand

All the things I thought I'd figured out

I have to learn againI've been trying to get downto the heart of the matter

But everything changesand my friends seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

There are people in your lifewho've come and gone

They let you down and hurt your pride

Better put it all behind you;

life goes onYou keep carryin' that anger,

it'll eat you up inside

I've been trying to get downto the heart of the matter

But my will gets weakand my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me

I've been trying to get downto the heart of the matter

Because the flesh will get weakand the ashes will scatter

So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me

**Estou sentindo está melodia como quem sente a brisa em cima de uma montanha.

Não importa o que está escrito mas sim como a voz de quem a canta é aveludada e me aconchega.

Amo este poeta, sua voz toca a minha alma.
