|
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 every time I've held a rose |
|
It seems I 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 |
