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.
