Step one: you say we need to talk

He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk

He smiles politely back at you,

You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right

As he goes left and you stay right

Between the lines of fear and blame

You begin to wonder why you came

It's funny really; I was always just the girl who nobody wanted to befriend

I was the No-It-All that jumped up and was the teacher's pet

I...never was that with Harry

Harry was my first real friend, then Ron, and Neville and Luna...

I knew the signs...

I saw the warnings...but...but

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along

In the bitterness and

I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

I...

...Was a coward I didn't want to lose that friendship...

Let him know that you know best

Cause after all you do know best

Try to slip past his defense

Without granting innocence

For all my books and cleverness...I really am useless...

I saw the beginning...I could have gotten help...but...

Lay down a list of what is wrong

The things you've told him all along

And pray to God he hears you

And pray to God he hears you

...But...

I...

Was coward

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along

In the bitterness and

I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

I chickened out!

WHY DID I DO THAT! I COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING!

Some Gryffindor I turned out to be!

Ron came home with a bruised hand, and I saw Ginny and the kids...

Ginny was bruised and the children looked frightened...

As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road

Or brake with the ones you've followed

He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything

Or he'll say he's just not the same

And you'll begin to wonder why you came

I went to their house to talk to harry but... all I did was drink the tea he offered and said nothing...

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along

In the bitterness and

I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

My tongue wouldn't speak...

How do you save a life?

A life...

When it's ending right before your very eyes...

I wept as I left...

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along

In the bitterness and

I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life

Sometime later the children came through our Floo saying that mom was still there talking to their raging father...I gave them chocolate and still I could do nothing...

How to save a life?

Ginny came later and as she spoke crying as she did...I still couldn't find the words to say...

Sometime later I heard about his death...

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along

In the bitterness and

I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

I went to his grave full of regret...

Regret...

That I couldn't save a life...

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along

In the bitterness and

I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life
