And So It Goes Lyrics by Billy Joel
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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
