In every 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 every time I've held a rose
It seems I 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

And so it goes

What a sad experience of relationship, even if it's true for many. I truly appreciate the experience Chris and I have of mutual submission and being one flesh.
ReplyDeleteI easily forget that for most people, this is their story, their truth.
