Album: Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship (2006)
I got the call today, I didn’t want to hear.
But I knew that it would come.
An ole’ true friend of ours was talking 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 all these voices outside loves open door.
Makes us throw off our contentment and beg for something more.
[Chorus:]
I’ve been learning to live without you now.
But I miss you sometimes.
The more I know, the less I understand.
And all the things I thought I knew [thought I’d figured out].
I’m learning them again.
I’ve been trying to get down.
To the heart of the matter, but [then] my Will gets weak.
And my thoughts [heart] 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 littler tenderness, how can Love survive in such a graceless age.
And the trust and self assurance that lead to happiness are the very things we kill I guess.
Pride and competition can not fill these empty arms.
And the wall we they put between us you know it doesn’t keep us warm.
[Chorus:]
I’ve been learning to live without you now.
But I miss you sometimes.
The more I know, the less I understand.
And all the things I thought I knew [thought I’d figured out].
I’m learning them again.
Oooh, there are people in your life who’ve come and gone.
They let you down. [You know] They hurt your pride.
Got put it all behind you, cause life goes on.
You keep carrying it in anger, it will eat you up inside.
You’ll live happily ever after.
And my heart is so shattered.
But I know it’s about forgiveness, forgiveness.
I’ve been trying to get down.
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh gets weak and the ashes will scatter.
