And So It Goes

[semperfiona]

I'm not really in the sort of mood that this song expresses, but it's one of my favorites and has meant a lot to me at times in the past when I've been struggling with a relationship. It came up in conversation with neeuqdrazil earlier, so I thought I'd post the words.


In ev'ry heart there is a 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 feel I said too much;
My silence is my self-defense.

And ev'ry time 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 were 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...

Okay, so this has nothing to do with your post...

... but I just figured I'd let you know that I just registered for TBR, so you can quit nagging! ::grin::

Now... if only a certain someone's life would stop being crazy and hectic so he could run his Amber game, my life would be complete... well, almost...
