I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them, I knew we were friends
You said we were friends
I thought we were friends
/
Do you know what Petunia said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said "Be careful with that one, sis
He will do what it takes to survive."
/
You and your magic flooded my senses
Your spells always left me defenseless
You built me palaces with your potions
You built me castles
/
I'm rereading the letters you wrote me
I'm searching and scanning for answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when we were friends
The world seemed to
Burn
Burn
/
But you went and called me a mudblood
You told the whole world of the prejudice
Deep in your heart
In defending your pride, you have hurt me inside
/
Do you know what Petunia said
When I told her what you'd done?
"You know he hates people like us
Why make an exception for one?"
/
And then when you tried to apologize
Your sentences bordered on senseless
For you are paranoid about the Slytherins
How they perceive you
You, you, you
/
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let everyone wonder how Lily reacted
When you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I am watching it burn
Watching it burn
/
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in my head
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
/
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit your chance in my bed
You'll sleep in the dungeons instead
With only the memories of when we were friends
/
I hope that you burn
