And So It Goes — текст песни (Billy Joel)

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.
