The Heart of the Matter

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?

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

The more i know, the less i understand
And all the things i thought i figured out, i have to learn again
