And So It Goes
Echoes of Love's Resilience
Lyrics
In every heart there is a room
In everyone's heart, there exists a personal space
A sanctuary safe and strong
A place of safety and strength
To heal the wounds from lovers past
To mend emotional injuries from previous relationships
Until a new one comes along
Until a new love interest appears
I spoke to you in cautious tones
I cautiously communicated with you
You answered me with no pretense
You responded without pretense or insincerity
And still I feel I said too much
Yet I still feel I revealed too much
My silence is my self defense
My silence is my way of protecting myself
And every time I've held a rose
Each time I've experienced love, it brought pain
It seems I only felt the thorns
It felt like I encountered difficulties rather than joy
And so it goes, and so it goes
This is the pattern of love, it repeats
And so will you soon I suppose
And you'll likely follow the same course soon
But if my silence made you leave
If my withdrawal made you depart
Then that would be my worst mistake
That departure would be my greatest error
So I will share this room with you
So I'm willing to share my inner space with you
And you can have this heart to break
You can have the power to hurt me emotionally
And this is why my eyes are closed
I keep my eyes closed because of all I've witnessed
It's just as well for all I've seen
It's better to remain ignorant of certain things
And so it goes, and so it goes
This cycle repeats, love hurts
And you're the only one who knows
You're the only one who truly understands this
So I would choose to be with you
I'd choose to be with you if the decision were mine
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you also have the power to decide
But you can make decisions too
You can also choose to hurt me emotionally
And you can have this heart to break
I'm vulnerable to your decisions
And so it goes, and so it goes
This cycle continues, love repeats its pattern
And you're the only one who knows
You're the only one who comprehends this cycle
