Jennifer Warnes - And So it Goes Lyrics

In every heart there is 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 fear I've said too much

My silence is my self defense



For every time I've held a rose

It seems only felt the thorn

And so it goes and it goes

And so will you soon, I suppose

But 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 ere mine to make

But can make decision, too

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
