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 (2)__________ 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 living hell
My (3)__________ still beats
So I bid farewell
The loving (4)________ that saved me
Held too tight
His darkness weighs on me at night
People change
And instantly
I'm not the (5)________ girl
I used to be
I can't erase all the memories
But I can explain
If you're listening
People change
Not (6)________ me
I (7)__________ asked or wanted to
You (8)______________ (9)____________ my threshold
How (10)__________ you?
