Threshold by Anna Waronker

Inside this life
Under it's spell

I (1)__________ my eyes
And (2)________ to tell

The hands we're dealt (3)________ (4)__________ disappear
Death she (5)__________ near
People change
And instantly
I'm not the same girl
I (6)________ 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 (7)____________ hell

My (8)__________ (9)__________ beats
So I bid farewell

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

I (14)__________ asked or (15)____________ to

You (16)______________ across my threshold
How could you?
