In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strongTo heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes alongI spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretenseAnd still I feel I say too much My silence is my self-defenseAnd every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thornsAnd 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 mistakeSo I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to breakAnd 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 knowsSo I will choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to makeBut you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break
