And So It Goes-Billy Joel
In every heart, there is a room"I did not resurface."
A sanctuary safe and strong"He threw his other arm around me, crushing me to his chest…Jake pressed his warm cheek against the top of my hair."
To heal the wounds of lovers past
"'It will be as if I'd never existed.'"
Until a new one comes along"If I turned my head to the side-if I pressed my lips to his bare shoulder…I knew without any doubt exactly what would follow."
--------------
I spoke to you, in cautious tones "'Will you stay?'" You answered me with no pretense"'Bella, I don't want you to come with me'"
And still I feel I said to much"'You…don't…want me?'"
My silence is my self defense"'I've never felt so helpless, I didn't know what to do. That first week-I thought I was going to have to hospitalize her. She wouldn't eat or drink, she wouldn't move. Dr. Gerandy was throwing around words like 'catatonic'.'"
--------------
And every time I held a rose"Here in his arms, it was so easy to fantasize that he wanted me."
It seems I only felt the thorns"The waves of pain that had only lapped before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under."
And so it goes, and so it goes"Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me."
And so will you soon I suppose"You could mean it…now. But what about tomorrow, when you think about all the reasons you left in the first place? Or next month, when Jasper takes a snap at me?"
--------------
But if my silence made you leave"From that perspective, imagining that he'd left me while loving me, left for me, his brooding silences took on a different meaning."
Then that would be my worst mistake "'When you were gone, the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.'" So I will share this room with you"He really did want me the way I wanted him-forever."
And you can have this heart to break
"'If you stay, I don't need heaven.'"
--------------
And this is why my eyes are closed "'Oh!' I gasped, and threw my fists over my eyes." Its just as well for all I've seen"Edward set a pace that had me running to keep up. But we still didn't get though the ornate door at the end of the hallway before the screaming started."
And so it goes, and so it goes"Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me."
And you're the only one who knows"'My mortality. I'm putting it to a vote.'"
--------------
So I would choose to be with you"'Bella, I cant live in a world where you don't exist'"
That's if the choice were mine to make "And I flung myself off the cliff." But you can make decisions to"'Not that way. You're staying human.'"
And you can have this heart to brake"'If you could have anything in the world, anything at all, what would it be?' 'You'"
--------------
And so it goes, and so it goes"Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me."
And you're the only one who knows"I squared my shoulders and walked forward to meet my fate, with my destiny solidly at my side."
