Am
Inside this life,
              D
Under it's spell,
Am
I close my eyes,
              D
And live to tell.
G              A
The hands we're dealt,
           C      G    Em
Will never disappear.
      A         C     G
Death she grows near.

CHORUS
D
People change,
And instantly.
            G    
I'm not the same girl, 
D/F#     Em
I used to be.
D
I can't erase all the memories, 
          G
But I can explain, 
D/F#     Em
If you're listening.
       C
People change, 
G        D
Not just me.

Am
Locked up in silence, 
              D
A living hell.
Am
My heart still beats,
              D
So I bid farewell.
G                A
The loving hand that saved me, 
 C        G    Em
Held too tight.
             A               C     G
His darkness weighs on me at night.

CHORUS
D
People change,
And instantly.
            G    
I'm not the same girl, 
D/F#     Em
I used to be.
D
I can't erase all the memories, 
          G
But I can explain, 
D/F#     Em
If you're listening.
       C
People change, 
G        D
Not just me.

Am
I never asked, 
          D
Or wanted to.
Am
You stepped across my threshold,
          D
How could you?
