The more I know, the less I understand

I got the call today, 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?/I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you sometimes/The more I know, the less I understand/All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again/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/These times are so uncertain, there's a yearning undefined...People filled with rage/We all need a little tenderness, how can love survive in such a graceless age?/ The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness/They're the very things we kill, I guess/Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms, and the work I put between us doesn't keep me warm/There are people in your life who've come and gone/They let you down and hurt your pride/Better put it all behind you; life goes on/You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside...
