I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies

That you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand

I would understand

Harry,

You've been my best friend ever since I met you. I could trust you with my life, I know it. And now I'm trusting you with my death. I can't take it anymore. There's too many memories here, and I keep on seeing everyone in my dreams, and I can't take it anymore! When you get this, I'll be gone. Don't worry, you'll be all right. You always were. Goodbye, mate.

Ron

The angry boy, a bit too insane

Icing over a secret pain

You know you don't belong

You're the first to fight

You're way too loud

You're the flash of light

On a burial shroud

I know something's wrong

"Harry, I'm so sorry."

"I should've known this would happen, Hermione. He was breaking right in front of us and I didn't see it. I could've stopped him!"

"No you couldn't, Harry. Don't do this to yourself."

"No! I could've! He was drinking all the time, he wasn't himself. I should've seen it!"

"You couldn't have known, Harry! Stop!"

"He was my best friend, Hermione. What'll I do?"

Well everyone I know has got a reason

To say

Put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies

That you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand

I would understand

"Ron was my best friend. We met on the train first year at Hogwarts, and that was it. He was always there, always willing to do anything for me, and anyone who knew him knows that he was like that with everyone. If he could help anyone, he'd do it, no matter what. I still owe him my life. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to repay him for that."

Well, he's on the table

And he's gone to code

And I do not think anyone knows

What they are doing here

And your friends have left

You've been dismissed

I never thought it would come to this

And I

I want you to know

Everyone's got to face down the demons

Maybe today

We can put the past away

"Hermione, I'm so worried about Harry. He's not eating much, and I've found him passed out in the office from drinking at least ten times lately. I'm worried. He's stopped coming back home most nights. I don't know what to do."

"Oh, Ginny, I wish I could help. I'm so sorry."

"No, don't be. I should've known he'd take it this hard."

"No, Ginny, don't blame yourself. Harry's under a lot of stress, and so are you, and Ron's death exacerbated everything. It's not your fault."

"I know. But it's just so hard, watching him do this to himself. I'm afraid he's going to…"

"Do you think he would?"

"God, I hope not."

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies

That you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand

I would understand

I would understand

Can you put the past away?

Ginny,

I love you. I love you so much. But I can't keep this up. I was thinking about this before Ron died, and now I don't want to put it off any longer. Don't be mad at me, Ginny. I just can't take it any more. It's eating me away. I need to get away, but I can't. So I'm just ending it. I'm so sorry, Ginny, but you don't deserve a wreck like me, anyway. I love you.

Harry

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

I would understand...
