"Heart of the Matter" - Indie Arie (original by Don Henley)
Did you know that I've written 315 blogs since WE became just ME? I can't even look back through all of them because I know most of them were written to deal with it all and I don't want to deal with it anymore. I just got to the point where I don't want to keep making the obvious points. Have you gotten to the point where you no longer wish to read them? Are you still there or not? Cuz I feel like you disappeared and it shouldn't matter, but it does. Why this is buggin' me is beyond me. I guess knowing that I have an "audience" somehow inspires me to write. And you're my audience...But where are you? C'mon, the mole post was awesome! Yet no comment? Really?!
Did I upset you? Did it hurt to know that I had a bit of attention? That must be the only explanation. It's kinda nice to know if it stung just a little (or more than a little). I take it from the quietness it did. Good. Who are you to hate, right? You get yours on a regular basis and it doesn't seem like you're ready to give that up completely. It's understandable now that I gotta chance to try it myself. Although, it's not as easy as I remember it to be. Guess I'm getting older. This whole "morals" thing gets in the way.
But seriously, I highly doubt you're done. I know it's been a while now and we've pretty much established where this is not going, but it doesn't mean we can't nudge each other every now and then. "Nudge, nudge." You alive over there? I'm not tootin' my own horn here, but there's no way you could ever stay away from me. It's ME. Hmmmm, I'm gonna test the waters. "Splash, splash!" Well?
Lyrics:
I got the call today, 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 all the struggles we went through
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've been 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 them 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
These times are so uncertain
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 the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm
I've been trying 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 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 carryin' 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 anymore
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
