The Girl With the Weight of the World in Her Hands

[believing_isaiah43]

Thank you, sweet friend. I have been reading your thread, but been drowning too recently to post to anyone. I do hurt for your situation, and understand how you got here. I do.

I, of course, posted to my blog about it, but also included lyrics. Because, ya'll who've been hanging on this trainwreck with me know: I love me some lyrics. I've been remiss lately, but these are sadly appropriate tonight.

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, Billy Joel
