EAGLES the heart of the matter

Select language to translate this lyric

Thank you
This next tune is a tune off my last solo album
Wrote this with ah Mr. Mike Campbell and our good friend J.D.Souther
Who as you know wrote a lot of the Eagles tunes with us
Took ah 42 years to write and about 4 minutes to sing so
I got the call today that I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
Old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you'd found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck
And the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves 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
(ooh-ooh-ooh) The more I know the less I understand
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
All the things I thought I knew I'm learning again
(ooh...) Been tryin' to get down
To the heart of the matter
(ooh...) But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if even if you don't love me anymore
Ah 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?
Ah trust and self assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill I guess
Ah pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesn't keep me warm
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you baby
(ooh-ooh-ooh) And the more I know the less I understand
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
All the things I thought I'd figured out
I have to learn again
(ooh...) I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
(ooh...) But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if even if you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby cause life goes on
You keep carryin' that anger
It'll eat you up inside baby
(ooh...) I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
(ooh...) But my will gets weak
And my thought seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if even if you don't love me
(ooh...) I've been tryin' to get down
To the heart of the matter
(ooh...) Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if even if you don't love me
(forgiveness) Ay
(forgiveness) Baby
(forgiveness)
Umm-umm-umm
Forgiveness
Aaah... yeah
(forgiveness)
Umm-umm-umm
(forgiveness)
Even if you don't love me anymore
