I don't own Harry Potter

hey rapunzel

up in your tower

isn't it ever lonely up there?

oh, you have friends of course

(or they say they are)

and you have your sisters

(though being trapped with them is more of a punishment, or so i've heard)

hey rapunzel

don't you ever realize

that they're your prison?

all your friends&parents&sisters&values

they're trapping you?

keeping you from the real world

with all its color and vibrance and diversity

hey rapunzel

i'm here to save you

from your prison of ideas

you don't know me

you look down on me

(in more ways than one)

hey rapunzel

let down your hair

your beautiful hair that's as black as your family name

and its fearsome reputation

build me a door

together we can build a staircase

leading you to freedom

from this tower of prejudice

i'm staring at and glaring at

and the outside is too slippery to climb

plus i might be seen and then where would we be?

hey rapunzel

i don't need a key

so don't you worry about how i'll get in your door

i see you've built it

i may not be a prince

while you are a princess

but i can fight your jailers

your friends&parents&sisters&values

that you don't yet really see you have

i can show you the world

come on, you know you want to see it

hey rapunzel

let's build a staircase

so we can show the world

who you really are

they say your heart is black and cold and closed

but i see you're soft and warm inside

all we need

to build the staircase i promised to build with you

is trust and friendship and maybe even more

hey rapunzel

i can be your hero

now please don't close that door

won't leave you or desert you

honestly, i swear

you've seen me from outside

i know you've seen me

looked for me even

come on, admit it, you can't lie to me

and you know i'm not the betraying type

i can downsize if this is too big

although your tower is big so you must be used to big things by now

hey rapunzel

i think i might love you

hey look, we built another stair

soon we'll be outside

out of this tower

that i'm breaking you out of

towers aren't good for your health, you know

i guess maybe i am

i see you're looking better

than you ever were before

is that a blush?

and i think i just returned it

hey rapunzel

we're out of the tower

the two of us, you and me

you and me forever

don't you like the look of those three words, you and me?

cause i do, most definitely

here we are

traveling the world on a whim

we're young and free

you're finally free

you gave up everything

you were disowned

no longer one of them

but i know you don't regret it

i wish it could be different

and you could keep your family

thanks for letting go for me

hey rapunzel

you aren't really rapunzel anymore

you're out of your tower

and i'm not a prince

but i think that this is forever, really, come with me, stay with me, i love you, and you love me

i know you do

so hey rapunzel

marry me?

the queen has got an apple

(a big shiny apple)

it looks so good

you just have to have a taste

they call the apple the elder wand

and it smells so good

of blood and of power

you need to take a bite

it's only one little killing curse on the queen

right?

it's not like murder will split your soul or anything

but you're not snow white

you're nowhere near innocent

and there ain't no prince charming once you take a bite

you grab it

and wrap your mouth around the poison apple

it deepens all the poison in your heart

(and someday you'll fall)
