Threshold by Anna Waronker

Inside this life
Under it's spell

I (1)__________ my eyes
And live to tell

The hands we're dealt will (2)__________ disappear
Death she (3)__________ near
People change
And instantly
I'm not the (4)________ girl
I used to be
I can't erase all the memories
But I can explain
If you're listening
People change
Not just me

Locked up in silence
A (5)____________ hell

My heart still beats
So I bid farewell

The loving hand that saved me
Held too tight
His darkness weighs on me at night
People change
And instantly
I'm not the same girl
I used to be
I can't (6)__________ all the memories
But I can explain
If you're listening
People change
Not just me

I never asked or wanted to

You (7)______________ across my threshold
How (8)__________ you?
