And So It Goes - Blake

And So It Goes Lyrics

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes alongI 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 defenseAnd 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 supposeBut 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 seenAnd so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with youThat'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
