When you try your best, but you don't succeed.
She knew he was hurting, how could he not be? He had tried so hard to save everyone, and succeeded in saving the entire world, but at what price?
When you get what you want, but not what you need.
He had saved them all, Voldemort was gone, and they were all safe. Yet he was hurting because so many people he had loved and needed in his life… were gone.
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep.
She knew he still had nightmares, and while they weren't from Voldemort, the seemed to be the worst ones he had ever had.
Stuck in reverse.
He relived their deaths every night in his dreams.
And the tears come streaming down your face.
She wished he would let himself cry but he put on a brave face.
When you lose something you can't replace.
He had lost parts of the only family he knew, but he pretended he was fine.
When you love someone, but it goes to waste.
They were gone, and she couldn't bring them back for him.
Could it be worse?
But at least she could be here for him. To hold onto him when she knew he wanted to cry, to love him when there were so few left to do so.
Lights will guide you home
She would let him find his own way back to happiness.
And ignite your bones
She would let him be who he was, even if that meant he had to pretend to be strong.
And I will try to fix you
But she would be right next to him the entire time, holding him, helping him, and merely loving him.
And high up above or down below
Everywhere he went, he was hounded by those damn reporters. They badgered him about his experience and how the war affected him personally.
When you're too in love to let it go
Because of this, because of them, he could not move on. He was stuck on the war, stuck on everything he had lost.
But if you never try you'll never know
She wanted him to be happy, wanted him to feel loved once more. So she stood by him and tried to remind him.
Just what you're worth
She reminded him that he was more than the Boy-Who-Lived. He was the boy with so much love, selflessness, honesty, and courage. He was purely him.
Lights will guide you home
But he didn't seem to see these things, so she let him have his time of mourning—hoping he would find his way home to her.
And ignite your bones
She knew he would pull out of it and save himself, but if he didn't…
And I will try to fix you
…Then she would save him.
Tears stream down your face
She told him he could cry, she told him he could feel, she told him he could be human.
When you lose something you cannot replace
She said that no one else would have been able to survive what he had. She promised that she would be there for him.
Tears stream down your face
She told him that he could be himself with her.
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
She promised that she wouldn't let him push her away "for her own good" like he had before.
Tears stream down your face
And finally he cried. Finally he let himself feel again.
Lights will guide you home
And she knew that he was making his way back to her.
And ignite your bones
And while his road through the emotions and pain of the war would be hard and extremely difficult…
And I will try to fix you
…she would stand right beside him and love him.
