Forgiveness Forgiveness, forgiveness I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear But I knew that it would come An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone She said you found someone And I thought of all the bad luck All the struggles we went through How I lost me and you lost you What are all these voices outside love's open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more? I've been learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes The more I know, the less I understand And all the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again I've been trying 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 And 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? And this trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess This pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms With the work I put between us You know it doesn't keep us warm I am learning to live without you now But I miss you, baby The more I know, the less I understand And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my hearts will 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 will let you down and hurt your pride You gotta put it all behind you, cause life goes on You can carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside I wanna be happily ever after Forgiveness, forgiveness Even if, even if No, you don't love me I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter But the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter It's about forgiveness, yes, forgiveness Even if, even if, even if you don't love me any more Even if you don't love me any more It's all about, it's all about forgiveness
