Matchbox 20 "If You're Gone"

"Hermione, how can you do this to me? I love you?"

Ron saw the tears in her eyes as she shook her head.

I think you're already gone. I think I'm finally scared now You think I'm weak - But I think you're wrong I think you're already leaving Feels like your hand is on the door I thought this place was an empire But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

"I just can't stand it anymore, Ron. It's too much...it's not right."

His eyes flooded.

He couldn't believe this...

I think you're so mean - I think we should try I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - I think too much I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

"Please, Herm, one more chance..." he pleaded.

She shook her head, and stood still on her feet, suitcase in hand.

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home Cuz there's a little bit of something me In everything in you

"I have to go, Ron. We've tried, but you know and I know-"

"No." Ron whispered.

I bet you're hard to get over I bet the room just won't shine I bet my hands I can stay here I bet you need - more than you mind

"I have to go, there's nothing else to say but goodbye." Hermione wiped her eyes, and held out her hand.

Ron took it gently, and kissed it.

"Please..."

"No."

I think you're so mean - I think we should try I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

"Goodbye, Ron." Hermione let out a silent sob as she turned around and left King's Cross station.

"Not forever, Hermione. Not forever." Ron cried out to her, and wiped his tears away.

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me In everything in you

Hermione turned around, just to see his red hair disappear into the crowd.

I think you're so mean - I think we should try I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much I know it's wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

"Not forever, Ron." she whispered, then turned to meet her parents with waiting arms.
