Today's song was written by Don Henley. I have re-written many songs by Henley and by The Eagles. As usual, my changes in the song lyrics are in capitol letters. This song also changes focus and those changes are in italics. Let me know what you think. If you have any trouble understanding, just call me. I'll sing it to you, you lucky little booger, you.

Forgiveness (heart Of The Matter) lyrics

I got the call today, I didnt wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin on the phone
She said youd 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 INSIDE loves open door
Make us throw off our RESENTMENTS
And beg for something more?

(TALKING TO BOOZE)
Im learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes

(TALKING ABOUT RECOVERY)
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, Im learning again

Ive been tryin to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter - (THIS WOULD BE STINKING THINKING)
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even IF I DON'T LOVE ME ANY MORE

These times are so uncertain
Theres a yearning undefined
And I'VE BEEN SO 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
Theyre the very things - I'VE KILLED I guess
Pride and competition
Cannot fill THIS empty SOUL
And the BOOZE I put between us
You know it WOULDN'T LET ME GO

Im learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought Id figured out
I have to learn again

Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter (PEOPLE, PLACES & THINGS)
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even IF I DON'T LOVE ME anymore

There are people in your life whove come and gone
They let you down you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on
You keep carryin that anger; itll eat you up inside, baby

Ive 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 its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if I DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE

Ive been tryin to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter (RECOVER OR DIE)

So I THINK IT'S about forgiveness
Forgiveness
(NOW YOU ARE CARRYING THE MESSAGE TO ANOTHER ALCOHOLIC)
Even if, even if YOU DON'T LOVE YOU
Forgiveness
Forgiveness - baby
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, you dont love YOU anymore

Hava a good and sober day.
