AN: Lyrics belong to The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus: Face Down. I'm writing this listening to the acoustic version...which is in my opinion better than the actual version.
Harry Potter universe belongs to JK Rowling. I'm just playing with them.
---------------------------------------
Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Cover up with makeup in the mirror
tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again
you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
-----------------------
Lily Potter stood checking her reflection in the mirror checking to see if her latest bruises were covered well enough with the make-up. How she played the game quite well. Pretending everything was okay but it wasn't. In all reality, I don't love her, I just hate that she acts so stupid around everyone else and yet she knows better. She shouldn't have ended up with that moron, James Potter...
I just want to find him and hex him into oblivion, even if he is my best friend.
------------------------
Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
--------------------------
I walk up to him and tell him how disappointed I am in him...How he has a beautiful angel and he's taking advantage of her. He laughs in my face. I shake my head and walk away.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect every action in this world will bear a consequence If you wade around forever, you will surely drown I see what's going down.
---------
I tell Lily that she doesn't have to take it anymore...she can start a new life and she can get away from James. But she insists that she's in love with him. I shake my head and walk away.
---------------------
I see the way you go and say you're right again, say you're right again heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
Face down in the dirt, she said, "This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough"

---------------------------
She had the baby today. You seemed happy. I took you out drinking. I think it was a mistake. I want to tell you she told me she was going to leave you if you beat her again-but you seem grateful that she gave you a son and told me that things were going to change. I believed you. So, I walked away again.
------------------------
One day she will tell you that she has had enough it's coming round again.
------------------
Voldemort came around today and killed you both. I hope you felt like a man when he pushed you down and killed you. She had enough and didn't get to start the new life. So, here I am, standing here-your best friend, Remus Lupin, standing over your graves and shaking my head. I lay a rose on the grave. And walk away.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
