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 retense
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've only held a thorn
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 see
And so it goes
And so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I will 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
