Threshold by Anna Waronker

Inside this life
Under it's spell

I (1)__________ my eyes
And live to tell

The hands we're dealt (2)________ (3)__________ disappear
Death she (4)__________ near
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

Locked up in silence
A (7)____________ hell

My heart still beats
So I bid farewell

The loving (8)________ (9)________ (10)__________ me
Held too tight
His (11)________________ weighs on me at night
People change
And instantly
I'm not the same girl
I (12)________ to be
I can't erase all the memories
But I can explain
If you're listening
People change
Not (13)________ me

I never (14)__________ or (15)____________ to

You (16)______________ (17)____________ my threshold
How (18)__________ you?
