Don Henley - The heart of the matter

Tekst :

I got the call today, I didn t wanna here
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin on the phone
She 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 down
to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
and my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it s about forgiveness
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-assurance that lead to happiness
They re the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition
cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
doesn t keep me warm
I m learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I d figured out
I have to learn again
I ve been trying to get down
to the heart of the matter
But everything changes
and 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 life who ve come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carryin that anger; it ll eat you up inside
I ve been trying to get down
to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
and my thought seem to scatter
But I think it s about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don t love me
I ve been tryin to get down
to the heart of the matter
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

    Liberation

    Take my hand,
    I ve changed my mind again
    Really, I believed it true
    That all who fell in love were foolish
    But I was wrong,
    I ve learned that lesson well
    All the way back home at midnight
    You were sleeping on...

    Music makes me high

    [Mr. Cheeks]
    One time
    We bless the track
    rush to the back
    it s the LB fam dogg pound we attack
    one time for the LP, LB
    My family come through
    This who we do
    Group Home, Universal bounce one

    Spellbound

    I heard that lately,
    You ve gone through a mysterious change.
    People say you re secretive,
    And you ve been acting strange.
    They say there s magic afoot stay away they all warn,
    But to me you were magical from the day that you were born

    I have become spellbound,
    Spellbound.
    You lifted me up high,
    Now I don...

    Tell no lies

    LORD ABOVE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
    TO THIS LONELY HEART O?MAN
    FRIGHTENED TO THE BONE
    THAT?S HOW IT ALL BEGAN
    HE BOUGHT A COLT, A 38
    TO GAIN SECURITY
    HE?D ONLY HAVE ONE MISSION
    PROTECT THE FAMILY

    HIS SON IS ONLY...

    Use you

    It s killing me
    To be in this room
    I ve gotta get out
    I ve gotta get out soon

    I m hurting you
    With everything I do
    It s too long
    Too long in this place

    We re counting down
    Only seconds now
    I gotta hang on
    Hang on to you

    I m staring at
    My cuticles
    Too long
    Too long in this place

    We...
