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&9ve 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&9s just as well for all I&9ve seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you&9re the only one who knows
　
So I would choose to be with you
That&9s 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&9re the only one who knows
