And So It Goes

In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much my silence is my self defense And everytime I`ve held a rose It seems I`ve only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It`s just as well for all I`ve seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you`re the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That`s if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you`re the only one who knows
