Threshold by Anna Waronker

Inside this life
Under it's spell

I close my eyes
And live to tell

The hands we're dealt will never disappear
Death she grows near
People change
And instantly
I'm not the same 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 (1)____________ hell

My heart (2)__________ beats
So I bid farewell

The loving hand that (3)__________ me
Held too tight
His (4)________________ weighs on me at night
People change
And instantly
I'm not the same girl
I (5)________ 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 (7)____________ to

You (8)______________ across my threshold
How could you?
