Verse 2
A
And I thought of all the bad luck
And the struggles we went through

How I lost me and you lost you

What are all these voices
Outside love's open door

Makes us throw off our contentment

And beg for something more

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you sometimes

All the things I thought I knew

I'm learning again
Chorus

I've been trying to get down
Em
To the heart of the matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about

G A D
Even if Even if you don't love me anymore
