The Heart of the Matter‧Don Henley
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 trying 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 carring that anger, it'll eat you up inside
I wanna be happily ever after
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 trying to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinking about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore
雖然這是一首流行曲，但是從歌詞中還是感受到了些許場景．我們很容易聽出來歌詞描寫的是分手的故事，但是這個分手卻是不想面對現實的傷心．歌詞有某些部分寫得很寫實很貼切，讓人聽了會置身其中的感覺．
當中有一段是這樣的：
＂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＂
這段話看起來沒有什麼，但是對於真正在一起的，曾經付出感情的情侶而言真的很傷．許多人都說情侶在一起久了就沒有感情了，因為感情變成了習慣，感情不見了！這都是放屁！因為若不是感情的投入和溶入，我們身邊的那一個怎麼可能會讓你習慣他／她的一切呢？感情就像一面靜水，只有石頭投下去，才會有陣陣的漣漪掀起，不過片刻又是恢復平靜．感情不可能每天都是高潮迭起的！難道大風大浪的愛情才是真？
其實，當我們又聽到forgiveness那一段時，我們才會發現，當我們真的很愛很愛一個人的時候，其實會一直給他機會的．不管怎樣的辛苦困難，還是會給機會，因為這個機會也許是唯一彼此可以找到共識的機會．
而且，這個機會也許是彼此間一個可能會幸福的機會。

所以，
上帝給了我們一段感情，我們還是要好好的珍惜和呵護．
上帝給我們的就是讓彼此多了機會，只是我們需要用雙手去好好握實．
