In ev-'ry heart there is a room,
A sanc-tu-ar-y safe and strong.
To heal the wounds from lov-ers past,
un-til a new one comes a-long.
I spoke to you in cau-tious tones;
You an-swered me with no pre-tense.
And still I feel I said too much.
My si-lence is my self de-fense.
And ev-'ry time I've held a rose
It seems I on-ly felt the thorns.
And so it goes, and so it goes.
and so will you soon I sup-pose.
But if my si-lence made you leave,
then that would be my worst mis-take.
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 on-ly one who knows.
So I would choose to be with you.
That's if the choice were mine to make.
But you can make de-ci-sions, too.
And you can have this heart to break.
And so it goes, and so it goes,
and you're the on-ly o-ne who knows.
