Under it's spell

I close my eyes
And (1)________ to tell

The (2)__________ we're dealt will (3)__________ disappear
Death she grows 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

People change
And instantly
I'm not the same girl
I used to be
I can't (7)__________ all the memories
But I can explain
If you're listening
People change
Not (8)________ me

I never asked or wanted to

You stepped (9)____________ my threshold
How could you?
