[01:19.48]I got the call today that I didn t want to hear
[01:24.66]But I knew that it would come
[01:31.00]An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
[01:35.75]She said you found someone
[01:41.70]And I thought of all the bad luck and the struggles we went through
[01:47.50]How I lost me, and you lost you
[01:53.85]What are all these voices outside loves open door
[01:59.09]Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more
[02:05.95]I am learning to live without you now
[02:13.65]But I miss you sometimes
[02:17.57]The more I know
[02:19.79]The less I understand
[02:22.26]All the things I thought I knew I am learning again
[02:28.87]I have been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
[02:34.15]But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter
[02:39.21]But I think it is about forgiveness
[02:44.51]Forgiveness
[02:46.37]Even if
[02:47.82]Even if you don t love me anymore
[02:52.02]
[03:02.88]Ah these times are so uncertain
[03:06.47]There is a yearning undefined
[03:09.41]People filled with rage
[03:14.85]We all need a little tenderness
[03:18.85]How can love survive in such a graceless age?
[03:26.35]Oh the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
[03:32.47]They are the very things we kill
[03:36.12]I guess
[03:38.00]Oh pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
[03:43.97]And the work I put between us you know it doesn t keep me warm
[03:50.90]I am learning to live without you now
[03:58.47]But I miss you baby
[04:02.21]The more I know
[04:04.41]The less I understand
[04:06.95]All the things I thought I figured out I have to learn again
[04:13.46]I have been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
[04:18.69]But everything changes and my friends seem to scatter
[04:23.74]But I think it is about forgiveness
[04:28.92]Forgiveness
[04:30.71]Even if
[04:32.09]Even if you don t love me anymore
[04:36.37]
[04:41.08]There are people in your life who have come and gone
[04:47.65]They let you down
[04:50.44]You know they hurt your pride
[04:54.10]You better put it all behind you babe coz life goes on
[04:59.17]You keep carrying that anger
[05:01.95]It will eat you up inside baby
[05:05.49]I have been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
[05:10.82]But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter
[05:15.86]But I think it is about forgiveness
[05:21.09]Forgiveness
[05:22.82]Even if
[05:24.25]Even if you don t love me
[05:28.81]I have been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
[05:33.68]Because the flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter
[05:39.05]But I think it is about forgiveness
[05:44.18]Forgiveness
[05:46.01]Even if
[05:47.34]Even if you don t love me
