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
|
