Now that I look at it, it was quite one sided one. Whenever I came over for the holidays you us dot take one look at me and then run off. Ron laughed at you and sometimes I joined in, but sometimes it almost seemed as if I should be the one running away. And as we got older, the feeling got more intense.
God broke the mold,
When he made this one I know
She's breathtaking but so much more
She walks in the room, your loves closed
Making you never want to breathe again
You were beautiful in every way to me, and although people praised me for doing 'brave' things, I still couldn't ask you. I admit it. I was scared. And then that night when Ron and I saw you in the hidden passage, I knew I was too late.
Her boyfriend has got so much dough
So much ice his neck and wrist froze
Is he faithful to her? Hell no
But she chose to be with him, shorty
Every time I saw you with him, this feeling welled up in my stomach. I wasn't sure whether it was just because I knew you so well, because I felt like your brother. But were brothers supposed to feel like I did then?
Tell me is the money worth your soul
Tell me what's the reason that you hold on
When you know that dude has a whole wall of 'em just like you
I began to doubt myself, thinking that you'd given up. I wanted to be with you, and I knew it after I identified that feeling. Jealousy. You dumped him, and then moved on to someone else. I'd lost my chance yet again.
And girl you're just way too fine
Gotta be treated as one of a kind
Girl use your mind
Don't be just another dime
Because
I began to admire you from afar, and found myself daydreaming of you in classes. It was a weird feeling, a feeling of needing, and something I knew I couldn't quench. You'd think with everything going on around us that I'd be able to take you off my mind, but I couldn't. Whenever I closed my eyes, you were there.
I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cuz I know exactly what you'll be,
In his gallery
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art

I couldn't stand it. Things were unfair. I knew I liked you, and I couldn't believe I'd let you slip right through my fingers. I agreed with Ron – you were too popular for your own good. But was I popular enough? I didn't know what to do, so I started to pretend.
She's so confused
She knows she deserves more
Someone who will love and adore
But his money's hard to ignore
She really doesn't know what to do
I told myself that you were just a friend, and I pushed my feelings to the back of my mind. I told myself that even if we did get together Ron would kill me. And nothing was worth that. Was it?
Girl it's just a matter of time
Before he finds another more fine
After he's done dulling your shine
You're out the door and he's through with you
I noticed lingering glances from you though. I started to wonder if there was actually a hope for us and that if you still did like me. Hermione kept looking at me when you were mentioned. I think she knew. If she knew, that mean I knew. Right?
Tell me is the money worth your soul
Tell me what's the reason that you hold on,
When you know that dude has a whole wall of 'em just like you
Christmas time came around, and I stayed with you and your family. It was a strange feeling, knowing that you were only a few doors down, and there was nothing I could do about it. Well, there was, but there's no way I'd try. It might destroy everything. So I watched you with your new boyfriend, because I knew he wouldn't stay long. I knew you wouldn't let him.
And girl you're just way too fine
Gotta be treated as one of a kind
Girl use your mind
Don't be just another dime
To me, you were perfect. Every smile, every laugh, every second glance. I fought in my head. I didn't know what to do. I was so confused. It was scary, having my emotions fight each other, and not knowing which one would win. If I would win.
I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cuz I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
I decided to start avoiding you. It would stop me having to look at the new guy you had. The one that was always right next to you, looking like he was out for murder. He looked at me once. And so did you. And it was almost as if I could see right through you. I couldn't understand it – what had you become?
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art

It was terrible now, like I was carrying around a deadly secret, and if I told anyone everything would fall apart. I saw the knowing glances from my friends but I pretended to ignore them. It wasn't worth it. At least, I thought so.
You're a masterpiece
I know that he
Can't appreciate your beauty
Don't let him cheapen you
Still I watched you. Dreamed about you. Thought about you. Loved you.
He don't see you like I do
Beautiful not just for show
Time that someone let you know
It was like my life was a movie, and I was just watching, powerless to stop the pain. I couldn't help myself, so I couldn't help you. I felt like nothing I could do would bring me out of this slum.
I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cuz I know exactly what you'll be

It's just not fair
Guys came and went, and no one said anything, but I knew what they were thinking. And sometimes I thought I knew what you were thinking, and I knew I had to do something about it. The time had come to show you exactly how I felt.
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
When you broke up with your last guy, Dean, I knew my chance had come. Now all I had to do was tell you how I felt about you. How I felt that I couldn't live another day without you.
I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cuz I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
It's just not fair
And so, in front of everyone, I kissed you. And I felt alive again. I felt like nothing could stop me. I was filled with a powerful emotion that could never be beaten. And when I looked into your eyes, the sparkle was back, and I knew you had been waiting. Waiting for me to tell you I loved you.
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
