Heartbreak Songs - Part I

Seeing that I recently passed the milestone of my second year of being divorced, this event motivated me to share a few of the "Heartbreak Songs" that have kept me company during this particular season of my life.

If these can be of help to anyone unfortunate enough to being stuck in the mires of heartbreak, here you go!

The Heart Of The Matter (by Don Henley)

[Verse 1]

I got the call today

And 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 the struggles we went through

And 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?

[Pre-Chorus]

But I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you sometimes

And the more I know

The less I understand

All the things I thought I knew

I'm learning again

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Ah, 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?

Ah, the trust and self-assurance

That lead to happiness

They're the very things

We kill, I guess

Ah, pride and competition

Cannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between us

You know it doesn't keep me warm

[Pre-Chorus]

But I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you, baby

And the more I know

The less I understand

All the things I thought I figured out

I have to learn again

[Chorus]

I've been tryin' to get down

To the heart of the matter

But everything changes

And my friends seem to scatter

But I think it's about

Forgiveness, forgiveness

Even if, even if

You don't love me anymore
