Threshold by Anna Waronker
Inside this life
Under it's spell
I close my eyes
And (1)________ to tell
The hands we're dealt will never disappear
Death she grows near
People change
And instantly
I'm not the (2)________ girl
I used to be
I can't erase all the memories
But I can explain
If you're listening
People change
Not (3)________ me
Locked up in silence
A living hell
My (4)__________ still beats
So I bid farewell
The loving hand that (5)__________ me
Held too tight
His darkness (6)____________ on me at night
People change
And instantly
I'm not the (7)________ girl
I used to be
I can't erase all the memories
But I can explain
If you're listening
People change
Not (8)________ me
I never asked or (9)____________ to
You stepped (10)____________ my threshold
How could you?
