And So It Goes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary, safe and warm
To heal the wounds from lover's 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've said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a 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
That would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
You can have this heart to break
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
You can have this heart to break
And so it goes
And so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
