And live to tell
The hands we're dealt will (3)__________ disappear

I can't erase all the memories
But I can explain
If you're listening
People change
Not (6)________ me
Locked up in silence

But I can explain
If you're listening
People change
Not (13)________ me

You stepped (17)____________ my threshold
