Heart Of The Matter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I won't ask you what's the matter
In your heart i'm not standing tall
And when it comes right to the heart of the matter
The heart's all that matters at all
I won't try to fix up things with you
Dead love can't be overhauled
And when it comes right to the heart of the matter
The heart's all that matters at all
So girl spread your wings
And go fly through the heavens with new love you've found
And don't ever look down
On this heart of mine lying shattered and scattered around
It's alright i'll bear you no ill will
My heart's not that mean and small
And when it comes right to the heart of the matter
The heart's all that matters at all
