And So It Goes lyrics

In every heart there is a room A sanctuary, safe and warm To heal the wounds from lover's 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've said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I'd 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 That would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you You can have this heart to break 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 will choose to be with you As if the choice were mine to make You can make decisions too You can have this heart to break And so it goes And so it goes And you're the only one who knows
