Lyrics Heart Of The Matter - Loretta Lynn

Heart Of The Matter

I got a call today that I didn’t wanna hear
But I knew that it will call
And old true friend of hours was talking on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck and struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are all these voices outside love’s opened door
Because through off our contentment and beg for something more
I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
More and more the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew
I’m learning again
I’ve been trapped to get down
To 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
All these times are so uncertain
Is an earning undefined
People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust in self-assurance that lead to happiness
That the very things will you kill our
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us, you know it 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 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 everything changes and my friends seem to scatter
And I think it’s about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
There are people in your life who come and go
That let you down and they hurt your pride
Better put it on a high… cause loves goes on
Keep carrying that anger, it will leave you up inside
I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more and all the less I understand
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
