Heart Of Matters - Ben Harper, The Innocent Criminals

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
