A/N: Well, this sure didn't turn out like I meant it to… blame it on my muses. It was originally going to be a song for Lily to sing in my fic 'Hogwarts: The True Story', but it kind of took on a life of its own. It's posted in Harry Potter instead of Original because of the references to house-elves and muggles. I'm not sure whose perspective it should be from, probably Hermione or Lily, but it can be about whoever you want it to be. Anyway, please review!
Alone
I'm no house elf
For you to use and abuse
Till death us do part,
I'm my own person,
So where d'you want me to start?
I can take care of myself,
Fend for myself,
Pay for myself,
In short, I can be myself,
Out there on my own
On my own… (Havin' fun, catching sun)
Out on my own… (wheelin', dealin')
Yes, on my own… (don't need you)
'Cos I'm on my own… (not lonely without you)
There's a muggle song I heard,
Called Survivor, all about survivin' your hurt,
Well I'm tellin' you now, that's one thing I can do,
'Cos it's only to myself that I'm gonna be true
And I'm asking myself now: What about you?
Well, I'm
On my own… (Havin' fun, catching sun)
Out on my own… (wheelin', dealin')
Yes, on my own… (don't need you)
'Cos I'm on my own… (not lonely without you)
No no no, no no no
No no no
No
(Spoken, rap-stylee)
Well, about this song: I guess it was a lie,
'Cos when you leave me all I want to do is cry
Can't you hear me, see me?
Can't you hear me sobbing?
Like a child without a toy, like a song without a dance
There's something not quite right
About this life
That I'm living:
On my own… (cryin', thinking I'm dyin')
Out on my own… (you're wheelin', dealin' with my heart)
Yes, on my own… (how I need you)
'Cos I'm on my own… (so lonely without you)
Yes I'm
On my own… (cryin', thinkin' I'm dyin')
Out on my own… (you're wheelin', dealin' with my heart)
Yes, on my own… (how I need you)
'Cos I'm on my own… (so lonely without you)
But your kiss takes me beyond all my dreams…
Beyond all the dreams I've ever dreamed…
