Heart Of Matters Lyrics
Lyrics by Ben Harper
Music by Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals
Backing Vocals by Rovleta Fraser and Michelle Haynes
i've heard all of your parting lines
can only say good-bye
so many times
before you know you have
nothing to show
for your pain
sorry's a word you just can't
seem to find
does it ever enter your mind
i am in doubt you are
about to change
you can't just say i love you
you have to live i love you
i will forgive every time
but the last
i wish i could find a way
to sing the life back into you and i
but now i am afraid
it is just too late to lie
if your heart isn't in it
if you have nothing left to give
won't you go on and let me live
