Heart of Matters

Ben Harper

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
