Billy Joel - And So It Goes (Official Video)

In every heart there is a roomA sanctuary safe and strongTo heal the wounds from lovers pastUntil a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tonesYou answered me with no pretenseAnd still I feel I said too muchMy silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a roseIt seems I only felt the thornsAnd so it goes, and so it goesAnd so will you, soon, I suppose

But if my silence made you leaveThen that would be my worst mistakeSo I will share this room with youAnd you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closedIt's just as well for all I've seenAnd so it goes, and so it goesAnd you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with youThat's if the choice were mine to makeBut you can make decisions tooAnd you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goesAnd you're the only one who knows
