In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
A place to heal 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-dense
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
If you only knew who to hit
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 decesions 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
