I got the call today that I didn't wanna hear 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
