And So It Goes Lyrics

And So It Goes lyrics

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.
