Billy Joel

In every heart there is a room

A sanctuary safe and strong

To heal the wonds 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 feel I said too much

y silence is my self defense

And everytime I`ve held a rose

It seems I`ve only felt the thorns

And so it goes, and so it goes

And so will you soon I suppose

But 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 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 was 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
