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 come 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 the 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
Well that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you
You can have this heart to rake

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
And you can have this heart to rake

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you’re the only one
Who knows
