Maybe I'll collect ____________by this window

With all the objects in this room

There's a field where the children ___________ to play

But that was in the past

They’re gone now, and my friends are gone as well

It all happened so fast

What would the people say if I ____________to run away?

I don’t want to be____________like my mother

Trust me, I love her, but is it ____________it

Should I take all the shame?

What exactly am I staying for?

Is it my father’s violence? Can’t I leave, for Frank’s and my ___________?

This doesn’t feel like home

But Buenos Aires with him just might

But I can’t forget how my father read me a story

While I was bedridden and _____________

Or the way he _________ on our mother’s bonnet

To make us all _____________ at a picnic

I can’t forget about what I told my mother

Even though she’s gone, that ____________ still lives

_____________the home together as long as I could

Maybe I could stay for them, maybe I should

But “Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun!”

I hear her, “The end of pleasure is _____________!”

“Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun!”

I hear her, “The end of pleasure is ___________!”

(silence)

Wouldn’t staying hurt me more?

Don’t I ____________better than this

What am I living for?

There’s a lot of things that I’ll miss

I can’t _____________ up my mind

It’s so hard to _____________

But I think I’m _____________out of time

Dear God, please tell me what to do
