So It Goes

In every heart, there is a room

A sanctuary is 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 this is why my eyes are close

It's just as well for all I've seenAnd so it goes and so it goes

And you're the only one who knowsSo I would chose to be with you

As if the choice were mine to make

But you can make decisions too

And you can have this heart to break

(Oh, ah)And so it goes and so it goes

And you're the only one who knows
