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 tone   You answered me with no pretence   And still I feel I've said too much   My silence is my self defense      And everytime I've held a rose   It seems I've 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   As 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   You're the only one who knows
