The Heart of the Matter

The Heart Of The Matter
(originally by Don Henley)

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 all the struggles we went through
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've been 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 them 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
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
[ The Heart Of The Matter lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore


*i simply love the melody; especially the chorus. and the lyrics completes it. so emotional. and sad too or is it more melancholic?

Sempurna

Kau begitu sempurna
Dimataku kau begitu indah
Kau membuat diriku akan slalu memujimu
Disetiap langkahku
Kukan slalu memikirkan dirimu
Tak bisa kubayangkan hidupku tanpa cintamu
Janganlah kau tinggalkan diriku
Takkan mampu menghadapi semua
Hanya bersamamu ku akan bisa

Kau adalah darahku
Kau adalah jantungku
Kau adalah hidupku
Lengkapi diriku
Oh sayangku, kau begitu
Sempurna... Sempurna...

Kau genggam tanganku
Saat diriku lemah dan terjatuh
Kau bisikkan kata dan hapus semua sesalku
Janganlah kau tinggalkan diriku
Takkan mampu menghadapi semua
Hanya bersamamu ku akan bisa

Kau adalah darahku
Kau adalah jantungku
Kau adalah hidupku
Lengkapi diriku
Oh sayangku, kau begitu
Sempurna... Sempurna...

Kau genggam tanganku
Saat diriku lemah dan terjatuh
Kau bisikkan kata dan hapus semua sesalku

- by Andra & The Back Bone-

*Another feel good song that I totally love. The melody, music and lyrics are just soothing..

Hadirmu

This song grew on me. My brother reminded me that the first time i heard the song i asked him why did the girl sounded like that? Hehe...and then after i was the one kept requesting to repeat the song over and over..

-Malique & D'esssentials-

ingin ku lihat dari matamu
bilakah kau pun merindukanku
terasa indah di hatiku
saat dirimu
hadir untukku

ingin ku dengar dari hatimu
sudikah kau tuk temani aku
begitu indah ku rasakan
karna hadirmu
memang untukku, dan kini

takkan ada
yg kan mengisi hatiku
dirimu lah
satu kan mengisi hatiku
percayalah
ku katakan pada dirimu
sayangku hanyalah untukmu

selamanya
selama-lamanya
hari ini, esok, dan nanti
kau tetap terindah di hatiku
bila kau izinkan
aku selalu bersamamu


ingin ku bisikkan desah hatiku
dapatkah kau dengar detak jantungku
kau bukakan mata hatiku
kau yakinkan diriku
akankah cinta ini yg kan satukan ku
denganmu
selamanya
selama-lamanya,
denganmu hari ini, esok, dan nanti,
denganmu
selamanya selama-lamanya,
denganmu hari ini, esok,
dan nanti ingin ku lihat
dari matamu
bilakah kau pun merindukanku
ingin ku dengar dari hatimu
sudikah kau tuk temani aku

Aku Ada Karena Kau Pun Ada

The song in my mind or playlist right now is Aku Ada Karena Kau Pun Ada - Radja. I first heard the live acoustic version and i was mesmerized. It helps that the lyrics are as such. Another "dealova" for me.

Cinta adalah anugerah yang Kuasa
Yang bila terasa betapa indahnya
Sungguh lemah diriku
Tak berarti hidupku
Bila tak ada dirimu
Andai ku bisa akan ku balas
Semua yg pernah engkau berikan
Terima kasih dariku
Atas ketulusanmu
Menyayangi diriku
Aku ada karena kau pun ada
Dengan cinta
Kau buat diriku hidup selamanya
Aku ada karena kau pun ada
Dengan cinta
Kau buat diriku hidup selamanya
Andai ku bisa akan ku balas
Semua yang pernah engkau berikan
Terima kasih dariku
Atas ketulusanmu
Menyayangi diriku

Never leave your heart alone

And it's open

For distraction

You found all the words you need

Well I found nothing

I just grumble'cause

I don't know what I feel

The moral to the story goes

Never leave your heart

Never leave your heart... alone

Run for shelter

An umbrella

Fights the rain but not the wind

And I'd be silly

To start preaching'cause

I don't know which point to make!

The moral to the story goes

Never leave your heart

In a box

Locked up

With cold cold ice

Never leave your heart...

Never leave your heart... alone

Am I frozen?

But it's summer!

Is that rain or is that me?

Yes I'm melting

Please be happy

One day soon

We might just swim

The moral to the story goes

Never leave your heart

In a box

Locked up with cold cold ice

Never leave your heart....

Never leave your heart....

Never leave your heart alone

Dealova

Aku ingin menjadi mimpi indah dalam tidurmu
Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yang mungkin bisa kau rindu
Karena langkah merapuh tanpa dirimu
Karena hati telah letih
Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yang selalu bisa kau sentuh
Aku ingin kau tahu bahwa ku selalu memujamu
Tanpamu sepinya waktu merantai hati
Oh bayangmu seakan-akan

(Chorus)
Kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku yang memanggil rinduku padamu
Seperti udara yang ku hela kau selalu ada
Hanya dirimu yang bisa membuatku tenang
Tanpa dirimu aku merasa hilang dan sepi
*Repeat chorus

sung by: Once

Dia

Kata demi kata
Jalin dgn indah
Untuk menguraikan
Maksud hati

Kuberanikan diri
Untuk memulainya
Tapi mengapa bibirku
Tak dapat bergerak
Terasa berat

Malam pun kian berlarut
Kami saling terpaku
Diam seribu bahasa
Hilang semua kata
Yang terangkai

Oh malunya hati ini
Bila ku ingat saat itu
Kami hanya saling berpandang
Dan terdiam terpaku
