on y va

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.

Yet 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 I'm the only one who knows.

So I will 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.
