The Heart Of The Matter

The Heart Of The Matter 歌词
I got the call today' I didn't wanna hear
我接起不想接的电话
我知道迟早要面对
But I knew that it would come
电话那头是我们的一个老友
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
她说你找到另一个爱人
She said you found someone
我想起我们经历的风风雨雨
点点滴滴
And I thought of all the bad luck'
那些我们都迷失自我的日子
And all the struggles we went through
那回荡在爱情大门之外的是什么声音
How I lost me and you lost you
它让我们不再感到满足
去苛求更多东西
What are these voices outside love's open door
我已学着去一个人生活
但有时还会想起你
Make us throw off our contentment
回首往昔 我却越觉迷茫
And beg for something more?
我重新审视那些我早知道的事
我试着认真思考问题的核心
I've been learning to live without you now
但我的意志越来越弱
思想涣散
But I miss you sometimes
我想我可能已 原谅你了
原谅你了
The more I know' the less I understand
即使,即使你不再爱我
往事如风
All the things I thought I knew' I'm learning them again
思念如烟
人们总是充满愤怒
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
我们都需要一些宽容
But my will gets weak
在这样一个粗野的时代 爱怎能存留
信任和自信 是能带来幸福的东西
And my thoughts seem to scatter
我猜那些正是我们没有的
But I think it's about forgiveness
骄傲和竞争不能带来任何帮助
朋友们的帮助劝说
Forgiveness
并不能让我们重修于好
我已试着去一个人生活
Even if' even if you don't love me anymore
但亲爱的 我想你
回首往昔 我却越觉迷茫
These times are so uncertain
我重新审视那些我早知道的事
There's a yearning undefined
我试着认真思考问题的核心
但我的意志越来越弱
And people filled with rage
心碎一地
我想我已原谅了你
We all need a little tenderness
原谅了你
即使你不再爱我
How can love survive in such a graceless age
在你生命中来来往往的人们
有的让你失望 伤害你的自尊心
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
最好把那些都抛到脑后吧 因为生活还要继续
不用和他们赌气 那会让你劳形苦心
They're the very things we kill' I guess
我想要幸福快乐
然而我的心已碎了一地
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
但我想我已经原谅了你
原谅了你
And the work they put between us'
即使你不再爱我
You know it doesn't keep us warm
我试着认真思考问题的核心
因为人总是会老去
I've been trying to live without you now
终将灰飞烟灭
所以我想我已原谅了你
But I miss you' baby
原谅了你
即使你不再爱我
The more I know' the less I understand
即使你不再爱我
And all the things I thought I figured out' I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if' even if you don't love me anymore
All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down' you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger' it'll eat you up inside
I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know 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 you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore
