Teardrops on My Guitar
After the final battle many students that were once rivals had become friends, like me and Draco Malfoy for instance, nobody seen that coming. Harry and Ron were pretty cool with him too. A group of us always get together on Friday, at a local pub for kareoke night. Each of us would take a turn at embarrassing ourselves.
We were all waiting for you to arrive. Then you walk in with a ditzy blonde on your arm. You catch my eye and give me a smile, a small fake smile is my response, before I advert my eyes.
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
Back at Hogwarts I had always harbored feelings toward you, but becoming friends, and learning more about you just strengthened them
that I want, and I'm needin' everything that we should be
When he got to the table, he introduced his date.
"Hey everything, this is Carol, the one I told you about" he said with a huge smile on his face.
That's her? Great! Now I have absolutely no chance I thought bitterly.
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about;
She was Beyond Gorgeous, and Draco had told me about her life growing up. She was rich, beautiful, very important family, but most important: She was Pureblood.
And she's got everything that I had to live without;
Sure Draco said that blood status didn't matter anymore, but it still helped to have.
Harry went up and sang his heart out to "Boys and Girls" Good Charlotte.
When he came back, Draco looked at me and said "Hey 'Mionekins... I think its your turn."
"I don't think so" I said laughing "I'd probably make your ears bleed with my horrible voice."
Drew talks to me; I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny
"Your voice isn't horrible" he said giving me that million galleon smile, and all I could see was him.
And I can't even see anyone when he's with me
I remember when he told me about her"
Flashback
"Hey 'Mione" Draco said as he walked into my office for our daily lunch.
"Hey Draco" I said not looking up from my work.
"Can I talk to you... about something?" Draco asked nervously.
"Sure" I said barely looking up.
"Hermione, look at me please... this is something very personal" Draco said losing patients.
"Sorry" I mumble giving him my undivided attention.
"Well you know that girl I told you about?" I nodded my head and he continued "well I think she's the one I've been waiting for, my soulmate you know?"
I smile encouragley at him, though inside I was slowly crashing, knowing he would never like me.
End Flashback
He says he's so in love; he's finally got it right; I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
I watch them closely, they seem very smitten with each other.
When we were still in Hogwarts I had a liking for music, I could play guitar.
So I always play songs. I thought fit the people I had a crush on. So I'd always strum the songs while singing gently.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
After the war, Draco would always comfort me, when I was mourning people I had lost; like my parents.
He would tell me that they wouldn't want me to live my life all depressed.
The only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star
I loved singing songs that fit him
He's the song in the car I keep singing don't know why I do
It was Draco's turn to sing. He walked around the table toward the stage passing me on the way. I hold my breath and exhale slowly after he passes.
Drew walks by me; can't he tell that I can't breathe
And his famous stride, so graceful and smooth. I know if I were to try that I probably fall flat on my face.
And there he goes, so perfectly; the kind of flawless I wish I could
She better love him the way he deserves, giving him sweet hugs and kisses all the time, hold and comfort him when he's sad.
She should look into those beautiful grey eyes and know, she has the whole world in her hands.
She better hold him tight, give him all the love; look in those beautiful eyes; and know she's lucky 'cause
I remember the nights I use to cry knowing I could never have the one I love.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
And praying that one day he would realize I was the one for him
They only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star
He's the song in the car I keeping don't know why I do
So as the night comes to an end, I slowly get into my car, watching you two leave happily together, and start off to my house.
So I drive home alone
I get home, unlock the door and walk in. Shutting and locking the door behind me. I don't bother turning on any lights until I get to my room. I turn on the lamp that's on my beside table and get ready for bed. Then I turn it off
As I turn out the lights
I stare at the picture taken off us a couple months back. Your arm was around me with that dazeling smile on your face. I close my eyes tight, despertly trying to go to sleep and not think of you.
I'll put his picture down, and maybe get some sleep tonight; 'cause
Next Friday
As I enter the pub for our weekly kareoke and stop dead in my tracks. You two are kissing and acting all couply, a single tear runs down my cheek.
He's the reasong for the teardrops on my guitar
You know everything about me, more than anyone else
The only one whose got enough of me to break my heart
I think nows the time to tell you
He's the song in the car I keep singing don't know why I do
I start towards the stage, thinking of your reaction; it feels time has stopped.
He's the time, taken up; but there's never enough
He's perfect for me, but does he see it?
And he's all that I need to fall into
I get to the stage and tell the guy what I want to sing.
The music starts, I'm watching Draco.
He's staring right back.
I start:
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
